Pandaw cruises
 |
|
Chindwin River |
In late
January, the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company cancelled all of its short
cruises on the Pandaw IV, due to licensing issues. However, these
issues were resolved and the Pandaw IV began offering short cruises
from Prone to Mandalay in March.
On 6th
to 18th September, the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company will
launch its Burma Chindwin Expedition Cruise. The fee includes
domestic flights and two nights at the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel.
In
February, Pandaw began imposing a fuel surcharge of 12 USD per night
for each passenger on all of its Myanmar cruises. This is the first
time in ten years that Pandaw has imposed a surcharge, which will be
added to the final balances of invoices. Please contact

Paradise Inle Resort |
To overcome the
noise and the smog from engine boats that have become a nuisance to guests
in the early morning or late hours, the Inle Lake Resort has built
a mini-jetty, about 300 metres from the resort-front jetty, where all
boats are now required to shut off their engines and row by hand to and
from the resort.
The Sandoway
Resort and all of the hotel in Ngapali Beach are functioning as usual.
The resort has opened seven new deluxe guest rooms, a swimming pool, a
reading lounge and a piano bar, as part of the its extension programme.
Inle Lake’s Paradise Inle Resort, which offers 50 comfortable
cottages built on stilts over the lake, will be closed from May until June
and will reopen in August with renovated cottages and facilities.
