Myanmar is the next up-and-coming Asian destination, only recently opening its borders to tourism. And there’s no better way to experience this fascinating country than cruising along the magical Irrawaddy…
With Avalon Waterways, of course!
The 14-day Golden Myanmar & Alluring Irrawaddy River Cruise is the perfect way of exploring the best of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), cruising along the heart of the country along the majestic Irrawaddy River through ancient cities and past scenes of traditional village life.
Starting off in the capital Yangon, guests get to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda (considered to be the oldest pagoda in the world), before cruising up to Bagan – the site of more than 2,000 Buddhist monuments in various states of ruin.
The cruise then continues north past Mandalay, stopping at nearby U Bein Bridge for an unforgettable sampan ride at sunset and other countless “only in Myanmar” moments and experiences.
But those are only just some of the highlights guests will experience cruising Myanmar with Avalon Waterways, and the itinerary isn’t the only reason why you should sail with them…
Here are another three reasons why you should totally cruise Myanmar with Avalon Waterways.
1. You can save $5,400 per couple
Fancy some incredible savings with your Myanmar river cruise? Done!
Save $5,400 per couple when you book Avalon Waterways’ Golden Myanmar & the Alluring Irrawaddy River Cruise from 18 October until 8 November 2016.
This incredible offer is applicable across all departure dates (excluding WKB 16/02/17 and WBK 26/02/17), and all you need to do is make a deposit of $500 per person/per cruise within seven days of making the booking to secure the reservation.
How great is that?!
2. A truly intimate experience is guaranteed
With a passenger capacity of just 36, an intimate journey cruising with Avalon Waterways is guaranteed, allowing you to appreciate Myanmar’s gorgeous scenery, culture and people – minus the crowds.
Even better, the Avalon Myanmar is an all-suite cruise ship, meaning guests get to stay in spacious 245 square feet suites decked out with an uber-luxurious deluxe Comfort Collection Bed and a large private-bathroom featuring a full shower.
Plus, all suites open to the outside and the large Panorama Lounge, making it easy for passengers to feel a part of the landscape and breathe in the fresh country air as they overlook a moving gallery of expansive vistas – perhaps with a glass of complimentary wine or a morning latte!
3. You can go where others can’t
The pioneering design of the Avalon Myanmar allows it to cruise along parts of the Irrawaddy that are inaccessible to other ships. For example, unlike bigger vessels, its possible to sail the majestic Upper Irrawaddy throughout the entire season – a feat unique to Avalon Waterways and its Golden Myanmar & the Alluring Irrawaddy River Cruise.
Consistent with the art and culture of the country, the Avalon Myanmar is also meticulously crafted to reflect the character of Myanmar, allowing you to feel part of the country both inside and outside the ship!
