Overview
Vessel Type: River Boat Length: 57 metres Passenger Capacity: 36 Built / refurbished: 2014 The RV Kalaw Pandaw, sister ship to the Kindat and identical in design, was launched in 2014 and carries with it a rich history. Named after the original PS Kalaw from 1917, which was sunk during the Second World War, her legacy was revived when Paul Strachan salvaged the vessel’s name plate and bell in 1998—the former now proudly displayed on board. This ultra-light ship is specially crafted with one of the shallowest draughts on the river, ensuring smooth navigation, while also offering one of the highest passenger space ratios afloat. With just 18 staterooms accommodating 36 guests, she provides an intimate, elegant cruising experience along the rivers of Myanmar. On board, guests enjoy thoughtfully designed teak and brass staterooms with panoramic French windows, premium amenities, and attentive service. Dining is a highlight, with a bistro-style restaurant led by a local master chef and an international team, offering semi-buffet meals, themed dinners, and freshly baked breads. Cultural performances, cooking classes, and educational talks enrich the journey, while shore excursions are complemented by cold towels, refreshments, and expert local guides. With exceptional service, comfortable public spaces, and a focus on both safety and hospitality, the RV Kalaw Pandaw delivers a refined yet authentic river cruise experience.
