The Makara Queen invites you on a journey to the golden era of exploration. Take an expedition through the history of Myanmar and discover the country’s rich culture and charming traditions.
The Makara Queen provides a series of portraits of local scenery, including dense jungle-clad riverbanks, grand gorges and endless rice paddies. You’ll also get intimate glimpses of traditional rural life played out along the riverbank, plus the occasional glimpse of a saffron-clad monk.
Enjoy your voyage aboard the Makara and unwind in one of our 22 luxurious rooms. Every room on the Makara has a private balcony and floor-to ceiling windows, perfect for taking in the scenery of the magnificent Ayeyarwady River.
The stretch between Mandalay and Bagan is rich in cultural and historical treasures, including several former royal capitals. The destinations visited on your journey provide a deeper understanding of this fascinating country.
The Cabins: Decked throughout in a unique blend of modern and traditional styles, our deluxe cabins offer twin or double beds at your request. Each cabin has been designed to guarantee the utmost comfort and features eco-friendly amenities to enhance your journey aboard the Makara. Outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony, the deluxe cabin bolsters a sense of adventure and tradition whilst still assuring complete privacy.
