Join the Road To Mandalay for a relaxing cruise
to Bagan, visiting Mandalay and Sagaing enroute.
Spend Friday exploring Bagan, where the ruins of
more than 2,000 temples remain.
Few places on earth remain untouched in their
natural beauty and charm from one century to the
next. The ancient land of Burma, now known as
Myanmar, is however, an exception to the rule,
and on board the Road To Mandalay we bring you
the best of this fascinating, unspoiled country.
A journey along the Ayeyarwady River is a voyage
of a lifetime. From this mighty river, which
runs the length of the country, treasures can be
admired which have for so long been hidden from
the world’s gaze.
With comfort and personality the Road To
Mandalay provides the most comfortable vantage
point from which to absorb the surrounding
serene beauty, taking in its golden-spired
pagodas, ancient temples, sleepy riverside
settlements and saffron-clad monks. |

- Dining: While you are on board
the Road To Mandalay, breakfast, lunch and
dinner are included. No journey to

Burmese courtesy and charm.
Buffet-style lunch is served on the
Observation Deck or in the Restaurant in
seven different themes: Burmese, Shan, Thai,
Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and European.
Dinners are served in the Restaurant, at a
time to suit you, and offer a choice of
dishes to suit all tastes from the a la
carte menu. A selection of European and
Australian wines are available to compliment
your meal. The buffet breakfast is
augmented by an a la carte selection of hot
items cooked to order. Early morning
coffee and afternoon tea is served in the
Lounge, on the Obesrvation Deck or in your
cabin on request. Tea, regular coffee,
soft drinks and bottled still water are
available, complimentary at all times.
- Accommodations: Inside this
graceful river cruiser the emphasis rests on
traditional comfort. The spacious en suite
cabins are air-conditioned and furnished
with beautiful fabrics, fine linens and soft
towels, while a friendly room service is
available to guests 24 hours a day.

- Will I need to tip the staff?

the Road To Mandalay is fully inclusive of
all service charges. However, if a member of
staff has helped make your journey
particularly special then any gratuities you
wish to give are entirely at your
