RV LAOS PANDAW

Just 10 staterooms are finished in teak and brass, with panoramic sliding doors for uninterrupted vistas of the river and hidden villages accessible only by boat. Service is wonderfully attentive as well as personalised; shoes are cleaned and refreshing tinctures proffered following excursions, while bespoke healthy menus can be discussed with the excellent local chef. An on-board bakery sends out fresh daily bread and evening canapés are served on the open-air deck, washed down with a gin and tonic and a leisurely view of the unhurried riverside life.

The cruise's itineraries are rich with history and culture. Explore the vibrant streets of Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage City home to marvellous monasteries and a fascinating fusion of colonial and traditional Lao architecture. Alternatively, introduce yourself to the friendly locals to learn more about their fascinating way of life or enjoy an even more intimate cruise across gorges and rapids in one of Pandaw’s smaller vessels.
