The Anawrahta is named after the founder of Myanmar, King Anawrahta. The vessel’s peaceful atmosphere reflects the Theravada Buddhism he helped spread throughout the region.
Decorated with local handicrafts, intricate woodwork and rich fabrics, the boat transports you back to a bygone era as you enjoy one of the most fascinating and scenic river journeys in Asia.
Sailing along, you’ll pass a variety of other boats, such as the barges that carry teak, a local timber. If you’re lucky, you’ll also encounter Ayeyarwady dolphins slicing in and out of the water. Fishing and farming communities populate the banks, living in stilted houses that overhang the water, and villagers will often greet you with a wave.
There is space for up to 46 guests on board, who can truly make themselves at home both in their sumptuous private cabins and in the welcoming communal areas.
