Pandaw

ABOUT

Pandaw is a leader in luxury small-ship river cruising in Asia, with over 30 years of experience operating handcrafted vessels that provide authentic and immersive cultural experiences. Their fleet of 13 newly built ships, replicas of colonial river steamers with teak and brass interiors, sails through six countries—India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar—offering expeditions on iconic rivers such as the Mekong, the Red River and Halong Bay, the Ganges and Brahmaputra, and the Kerala Backwaters.

Designed with shallow drafts to access remote and less-traveled waterways beyond the reach of larger vessels, Pandaw ships feature the highest space-to-passenger ratio in the river cruise industry, with spacious 170-square-foot staterooms and a limited number of cabins for an intimate setting and personalized service. Guests enjoy a blend of real adventure and luxury comfort, including fine dining, excellent cocktails and wines, and exceptional service while exploring authentic destinations.
