Sanctuary Ananda cruise
Ms. Serena Barzaghi-Italy

Beautiful boat, fabulous food, superb crew and excellent tour guides. Plenty to see and do, with time to relax as we sailed. Each day another village to explore - ceramics, potteries, gold leaf, temples and stupas.

Sailing 3 nights from Bagan to Mandalay
Mr. Paul Verity-

Travelled up the Ayeyarwady in August 2019. It was the most wonderful experience and one of the best trips I have ever done. It was worth the cost. The people are beautiful, friendly, humble and ready with a smile. Amazing scenery and history.
