Sanctuary Ananda (long), The Chindwin

As well as their regular 7 day Mandalay-Bagan-Mandalay loop (which links their 3 and 4 day short Irrawaddy cruises together), on a few set dates during the year, the luxurious Sanctuary Ananda journeys up the remote and less-explored Chindwin River.

 The 10-night cruise will take you from Mandalay to Bagan via Paung Pyin, an exciting trip passing remote jungles, tribal villages and rarely-visited towns with rich histories spanning thousands of years.

Whilst on board you can expect beautiful, well-stocked luxury bathrooms, sumptuous furnishings and the kind of luxury amenities you’d expect from a high-quality hotel. Alongside the several dining options, you’ll have access to spa treatments, workshops, cooking demonstrations and an atmospheric panorama lounge for sunset drinks. There is a plunge pool on board and guests are treated to butler service and state-of-the-art entertainment technology.

The Sanctuary Ananda 10-night cruise along the Chindwin River offers a level of luxurymaking it a great choice if you want to get well off-the-beaten-track in Myanmar but don’t wish to miss out on the comforts, luxuries and space you’d find at a five-star hotel. Talk to Experience Travel Group about combining this lavish boat cruise with an equally opulent Burmese land adventure.
