This journey has been personally designed by John Tue Nguyen (Founder of Heritage Lines)
“For us, every river has a story waiting to be told.”
Highlights of the Journey:
- Cruising the magnificent Irrawaddy River aboard your luxury riverboat.
- Experiencing traditional villages along the way, seeing lifestyles unchanged in centuries.
- Visiting the ancient capitals of Sagaing and Ava.
- Exploring Bagan with its plains of 1,000s of pagodas, Myanmar’s most enigmatic sight.
- A pre-post stay at the delightful Yandabo Home makes the perfect bookend to this cruise.
There is an extraordinary timeless quality to Myanmar’s Irrawaddy River, also known as the Ayeyarwady. Rising among Himalayan glaciers and flowing freely for almost 2,200 km across the whole country before pouring into the Indian Ocean. This river is a witness to 1,000s of years of history yet the kings of medieval Bagan would almost certainly recognise its riverbank life today with its bullock cart or the tiered pagodas atop rambling teak monasteries.
