ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to the unsettled situation, it is with great sorrow that we must announce once again the cancellation of all cruises until the end of 2023.

All our vessels are docked in our Mandalay jetties, our “home port”, and are taken care of by our marine and hotel staff which is carrying out regular maintenance tasks including mechanical, structural and interior checks.

We do hope that a kind of normality will return by November 2023, and it will be pleasant to travel.

For the relaunch of our cruises, we have planned for the time being to operate only two of our most popular cruises: Myanmar Heritage (7 nights) & our short cruises of 1 & 2 nights “Between Bagan and Mandalay”. The cruises will be operated by Paukan Princess and Paukan 2012.

Should the situation improve, we will add more cruises and departures in due course.

Thank you for your continued support.
We look forward to welcoming you again on board.
