Luxury cruises set to make waves in Asia come 2015

 

Angkor Pandaw

Top-end river cruise expedition company Pandaw has rolled out itineraries for 2015, now open for bookings.

A 10-night Laos itinerary, to be operated on the new 10-stateroom Laos Pandaw, features two nights in UNESCO World Heritage Site Luang Prabang, and expeditions to tribal villages in the Laotian jungle, crossing rapids, gorges and jungle pools. Departing November 1, 2015, the Laos voyage is priced from US$3,250. Bookings made before January 5, 2015 will enjoy a 10 per cent discount.

The cruise operator is also due to begin eight-day Brahmaputra River cruises on the MV Mahabaahu on March 29, 2015. Guests will be taken to the north-east region of Assam, India to the largest river island in the world to meet the Mishing people and Kaziranga National Park. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect close encounters with single horned rhinos, buffaloes, Indian tigers and river dolphins. Prices from US$2,430. Pre- and post-cruise stays can be arranged for New Delhi and Kolkata, including domestic connecting flights.

In Vietnam, Pandaw is putting a spin on the traditional Halong Bay cruise by tagging on a Red River expedition, to be sailed on the Angkor Pandaw. During the 10-night sailing beginning July 10, 2015, passengers will explore the bay’s limestone islands and caves, floating villages and school, before moving into the Kinh Thay River and Duong River. Passengers are given two days of sightseeing in Hanoi before being shipped off to see the Red River. Prices from US$2,600 and a 10 per cent discount applies to reservations made before October 31, 2014.
