RV Pandaw II
Overview
Pandaw II was our first ever new build back in 2001. Though our oldest ship she is still young in river terms – her prototype the old Pandaw is now over sixty years old and many ships in this fresh water environment are at least 100 years old. She was built in Rangoon at the Dawbone dockyard, then belonging to the Marine Department. In those days there was no electricity and numerous generators surrounded the growing hull powering the welder’s torches. Timber mills were rare too and great tree trunks would be delivered to the dockside and be cut into planks on the spot. The result was magnificent and still is.

Pandaw II remains the stately queen of our fleet, if not the river. This is the one ship that has not been fully refitted, partly because the crew have treated her with such love and care that she does not need a refit and partly because she is something of a cult ship with a considerable following and we want to preserve the original Pandaw cabin with their real ship’s berths and the old door and window arrangement rather than the French windows of our other P class ships.
The ship has quality mountain bikes for your independent exploration.
For 2021, the RV Pandaw II was refurbished to add 3 brand new suites, offering private balcony and lounge area for even more space and comfort on your expedition.

The Pandaw stateroom is one of the most celebrated features of our ships, designed to offer a quiet, comfortable retreat after each day of discovery.
Blending colonial-era character with modern-day comfort, every cabin reflects our commitment to quality and luxury. Finished in teak and brass, our main and upper deck staterooms provide 168 square feet (15.6 sqm) of thoughtfully arranged space. Wide French windows open to fresh air and natural light, while premium mattresses and high-quality linens help guests feel well rested each night. The layout has remained consistent across our fleet because our guests have come to love its timeless simplicity.
Many passengers have described life on board a Pandaw as more like being a guest on a private motor yacht, than a passenger on a conventional cruise ship. For a start, our itineraries and our quest for the most spectacular sights and experiences is far more intrepid than conventional cruises. And when passengers return to the ship after experiencing the wonders of life onshore, they are coming back to a floating oasis of low-key luxury, caring service and all the good things of life.

Life on board is yours to enjoy, however you choose—whether that’s curling up with a book, chatting with fellow travellers, or simply watching the ever-changing landscapes drift by. Our wraparound promenade decks provide uninterrupted views and plenty of quiet corners to retreat to, offering a calm, open-air atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and take it all in. For those who want to stay connected while they unwind, complimentary WiFi on the sundeck makes it easy to share your experiences or check in with loved ones back home.
Whether enjoying the experience indoors or out, a Pandaw ship offers a relaxed and comfortable front-row seat to some of Asia’s most remarkable river journeys.
