Cruising on the RV Mekong (Saigon – Siem Reap – Saigon)
Many veteran travellers will be familiar with the much loved Pandaw Fleet owned and operated by the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company in Myanmar. The original Pandaw was a Scottish built paddle steamer refitted to a high standard of comfort with deluxe staterooms. The intention was to recreate the atmosphere of the colonial steamers that carried royal princes, viceroys and a succession of famous artists, writers and poets. The RV Mekong and the MV Tonle is of similar design to the Pandaws with a spacious dining room on the Main Deck, an ample cocktail bar on the Upper Deck and a large sun deck area above, half covered by an awning, which affords the best views of the river life around. The the RV Tonle Sap will cruise in the same waters. Cruise upstream from Saigon – Siem Reap or downstream from Siem Reap to Saigon (see River Journeys)
