Delta Queen
Delta Queen is 148 ft. long with a bean of 28 ft. The vessel draws 5 ft of water and has been specifically designed for plying the waters in the Delta Region of the mighty Ayeyarwaddy (Irrawaddy) River of Myanmar.

The vessel was constructed primarily for the transportation of V.I.P. dignitaries and is ideal for tourist transportation services.

The steel hulled vessel consists of 12 comfortable air-conditioned twin cabins and 2 family cabins with share shower and toilet facilities.

The Captains Lounge is situated on the middle deck, over the bow section of the ship and offers an ideal air-conditioned area for viewing life on the river while perhaps enjoying a refreshing drink.

The covered dining area is situated on the mid deck in the aft section of the vessel.

The Captains Bar and Sundeck are on the upper deck and provide the perfect spot for reclining on a sun lounge, sipping on a long cool cocktail or just passing the time of day as untouched Myanmar passes by.

Pandaw River Cruises and the Irrawaddy Flotilla
The Irrawaddy Flotilla Company was established by Scot’s merchants in 1865. By the 1920s the company ran over 650 vessels on the rivers of Burma. It had become the largest privately owned fleet of ships in the world. Mainly paddle steamers, the largest class of vessels were 350ft long and licensed for 4,000 passengers.

Royalty and viceroys, writers and poets all travelled on the ‘old flotilla’ immortalized by Rudjard Kipling in his poem Road to Mandalay. In 1942 the fleet in its entirety was scuppered an Act of Denial when the Japanese invaded. The Irrawaddy Flotilla was in 1995 revived by the Burma historian Paul Strachan.

First restoring an original Clyde-built steamer called the Pandaw, and then going on to build four brand new replicas, a unique concept and style of river cruising was created. Each ship, hand finished in brass and teak by traditional craftsmen, is in itself an object of great beauty.

The secret of the Pandaw success is that, whilst luxury and comfort are discreetly present, it is the colonial character and friendly atmosphere that predominate.
