THE STRAND Hotel in Yangon has announced plans to launch The Strand Cruise, a luxury cruise service set to sail down Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River in early 2016.
The cruise offers three- or four-night long trips between Bagan and Mandalay, through the Ayeyarwady River, with plans to moor at locations along the river.
Twenty-seven rooms of various classes occupy the ship, with cabins featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor balconies furnished with pieces of local art.
Each cabin also comes with its own bathroom, free Wi-Fi, international TV channels and 24-hour butler services.
Afternoon activities include barbecues on the upper deck as well as alfresco tea sessions. In the evenings, the upper deck will have a wine tasting corner where sommeliers will offer food pairings for guests.
Other amenities include a cocktail lounge, library, spa facilities and a reflexology station.
