Introduction

There is no better way of experiencing life on the Mekong than by joining a river cruise, particularly when this allows you to experience parts of the country that are relatively inaccessible and less developed, plus no inconvenience of packing and unpacking each day.

The Champa Pandaw is a luxurious replica of the colonial-era river boats that once cruised the inland waterways of Southeast Asia and provides a superb base from which to enjoy panoramic views of the river and explore villages, countryside and temples along the way. All tours and meals are included.

Facilities

Life on board is very relaxing, informal and essentially an outdoor experience. Topside is a sun deck running from stem to stern, with lounge, bar and bistro style al fresco dining.

Afternoon naps on cushioned loungers are interrupted at just the right intervals by bar staff offering tea and cookies or cocktail of the day.

Cabins

The 12 main deck & 2 upper deck staterooms are surprisingly spacious and like the rest of the ship are made entirely of teak and brass. All are air-conditioned with ensuite bathrooms and panoramic french sliding doors.
