Pandaw offers a value-laden 10-day cruise of Vietnam’s Red River and Halong Bay. Pandaw’s RV Angkor is a pioneer when it comes to passenger travel on Vietnam’s Red River and still the only such vessel.
The cruise includes the sights of Hanoi, Halong Bay, and many places along the Red River that most tourists don’t get to see. Besides the shore trips there are ethnic shows, on-board cooking demonstration, and informative presentations. The staff takes care of everything from arrival to departure and includes personalized service such as cleaning shoes after a shore trip; they will try to accommodating all reasonable requests.
White tablecloth-dining is on the main deck with great views of the
river and country side. Guests can choose from several items on a menu plus there is a salad and dessert buffet table. The menu is varied featuring Asian and Western cuisine. Special dietary need will be accommodated. Local beverages including beer are gratis but not imported wines, beers, and liquors. Passengers can expect gourmet meals expertly served. There is open seating. Weather permitting staff will prepare a BBQ on a sandbar in the river.
All 32 air-conditioned cabins are roomy with bathroom/shower larger than on many other vessels and include hair dryer, all amenities and L’Occitane toiletries. All are outside cabins with great views. Each room has ample storage space, two nightstands, a safe, and desk/chair, plenty of lighting and life jackets.
Pandaw cruises are understated luxury that focuses on the history and culture of the area. Do not expect to find a TV or any of the activities found on large sea-going cruises such as a swimming pool, disco, or sports. Most of the Pandaw’s guests have been on one or more of their cruises – some as many as five. That says it all. For more information log on to www.pandaw.com.
