What a dream !
A cruise in the famous irrawaddy river in Myanmar, from Bagan
to Mandalay, and Bamo up in the foothill of the Himalayas.
There is more and more opportunity to travel by boat in Myanmar.
Very recently a new line open to Mergui Island. We will post
soon new information.
Special note for Mandalay - Bagan cruise - daily cruise (5 March 2010).
2008 and 2009 have been bad tourist season, so much that most of the cruise between Mandalay and Bagan (the daily cruise) have been cancelled. For Shwekennery and Malikha boat, it is becoming very difficult to forecast when they sail or not.
Even this year (2010), with quite a lot of tourist in February, the boats where not sailing every day.
You can expect almost no boat for the dry season (middle of March to May).
For the rainy season and next winter it is impossible to forecast, please contact us to know (if we know) if the boats are salling or not.
- Amara Cruise : Very nice cruise with small teak boat (only 7 cabins) from Mandalay to Bagan or Bhamo.
Amara cruise has two nice traditional Myanmar river boat made with teak wood.
There is only 7 cabins but all confort and security. The boat can go upstream to Bhamo until march.
It is a very nice way to discover Myanmar, with a friendly, charming small boat.
