in Germany and made her maiden voyage on 6th July 1964.

ship was purchased by Orient-Express Hotels, Trains &
Cruises in 1994 following a period as a floating hotel
in Dresden
Today the Road To Mandalay continues to ply the waters
of the Ayeyarwady River giving passengers the
opportunity to see this fascinating and ancient land
while traveling in traditional comfort.

RV Pandaw 1947 River Cruise
A journey on Burma's Irrawaddy River is one of life's
great travel experiences. No vessel could be more
appropriate for this than the RV Pandaw 1947, OPERATED
BY AYRAVATA CRUISES.
All cabins are air-conditioned and are 14 x 12 feet in
size containing a shower room with hot and cold water.
Interior walls are finished with hard wood tongue and
groove panelling and on the upper deck the original teak
decking was retained. Beds are traditional teak ship
cots with brass marine fittings. Local hand-woven
fabrics are used for the curtains, bed covers and
cushions; there are no mini-bars or TVs! Cabin windows
have insect netting fixed so windows may be kept open at
night in preference to the air-con.
The old first class 'saloon' on the upper deck over the
bow has been preserved as the Observation Lounge with a
cocktail bar. The dining room is conceived as an
extension of the open deck space with fold back doors to
allow the breeze to pass through.
