What travelers love this cruise

The atmosphere on board is very friendly and informal, more like a party on a private yacht than a cruise ship.

Nearly everything is included in the price and there are no hidden extras for excursions.

Even your drinks and the crew tips are included in the price of your tickets.

There is an incredibly high level of personal service and care aboard, with a crew passenger ratio of 1:2.

From the moment you board, guests are made to feel at home.

There is no dressing up for dinner and no 'caption's table'

Built in Rangoon in 2002 she was sailed round to Saigon under her own power and many a drama described in Paul Strachan’s Pandaw Story. This ship was designed specially for the Mekong and unlike our other P class ships does not have a flying bridge. The reason was so she could get under a road bridge. She did actually scrape under on her maiden but it was so scary that Paul Strachan, then standing on the bridge, never dared attempt it again. As a result, we ended up with this incredible 750 square meter teak deck that even has a full size billiard table. The MP as she is affectionately known is our most spacious ship with wider promenades, a larger dining hall and more public space per passenger than any known ship afloat. Seriously! In 2012 she was refitted and lower deck cabins removed in favour of a professional spa, gym, library lounge and office. She is quite justifiably the most splendid ship on the Mekong and the envy of anything that floats by.The ship has quality mountain bikes for your independent exploration.

We had a week long trip on the Mekong River on Pandaw cruise. Meals were fabulous, you need to go on as diet after this cruise.The staff are attentive and friendly and go out of their way to make the experience enjoyable, even to the extent of organising free cocktails. We highly recommend this trip, you couldn't regret it.

Our Mekong cruise with Pandaw was a wonderful experience. Loads of interesting and informative activities throughout the 7 day journey on a lovely boat. INSIDE TRAVEL organized everything faultlessly.

I must confess I was a bit skeptical, when I first started to work with INSIDE TRAVEL Asia, Ms. Hong Nham. Normally I would not trust an unknown travel agency found on the Internet. I feel we were so lucky with this agency I can only give them the highest praises. INSIDE TRAVEL Asia and Ms. Hong Nham in particular were extremely helpful, very professional and available almost day and night via WhatsApp or email. I can only highly recommend them.All the transportation arranged by them were punctually to the dot, very safe and very friendly staff.They recommended to use the Pandaw cruise for our trip from Phnom Penh to Saigon and it was an excellent recommendation. The ship is very comfortably, the food is excellent, service impeccable and all the staff was very helpful and friendly. Every day they organised excursions to small village and most of the time we were the only tourists there. These five days with Pandaw Cruise have left us with many memorable impressions and gave us an insight in the life and culture of Vietnamese people. We always felt very welcome wherever they took us. Tourismus is increasing in Vietnam and Cambodia and so we felt privileged with the program organized by Pandaw Cruise.Ms. Hong Nham also recommended and organised a a 2 day cruise on the Halong Bay, which we also very much enjoyed.Thank you INSIDE TRAVEL Asia and Ms.Hong Nham we will recommend you to our friends here in Austria and Europe.

An unforgettable experience! The boat Mekong Pandaw offers all the comfort you would want on a boat. The sunsets with the newly created cocktail for each evening on the Sun Deck were almost unreal beautiful!
