THE STRAND LUXURY CRUISES

RIVER JOURNEYS BETWEEN MANDALAY AND BAGAN

The Strand Cruise is one of the latest Luxury Cruise to sail the magnificent Ayeyarwaddy River of Asia’s hidden treasure that is Myanmar. Embark for an authentic journey of discoveries from visiting temples, pagodas, palaces and monasteries to remote villages aboard this ship, which mirrors the heritage and reputation of its sister property, The Strand Hotel in Yangon.

Inaugurating in early 2016, the Strand Cruise is a reinvention of the legendary style and unique personality of The Strand Hotel within a contemporary river cruise experience, with exceptional standards of comfort, discreet personalised service, and design touches that combines the character of the Strand in its heyday as a meeting place for explorers and raconteurs with the latest technology such as individually controlled air conditioning and satellite WI-FI throughout the ship.

The luxurious Strand Cruise takes you on a lavish journey down the historical Ayeyarwady River with breathtaking views of Myanmar and its beautiful scenic heritage. Cruise itineraries include 4 nights from Bagan to Mandalay and 3 nights from Mandalay to Bagan.

With its sister property being the refined Strand Hotel, it is no surprise this latest embodiment of the Strand legacy offers the same range of activities to indulge in.

Clear your mind with a rejuvenating massage, or relax by our custom swimming pool. Enjoy the magnificent sunset from the upper deck while our sommelier delights you with our wide variety of wines. For dinner, let our Chef take you on a journey through refined cuisine. When the night is over, retreat to your comfortable cabin and sleep soundly on the waves of the river.

Our team and private concierge have dedicated themselves to your comfort to ensure a most memorable experience from the moment you step aboard The Stand Cruise.

The Cabins: A retreat on the Ayeyarwady River would not be complete without an exquisite yet comfortable cabin. Designed for your enjoyment and well-being, each bedroom is tastefully decorated with Burmese craftsmanship and Teakwood floors. If you wish to retire from the rest of the world in your cabin and yet still want to enjoy the magnificent view and little personal luxuries, fear not for every room offers floor-to-ceiling windows, en-suite bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, international TV channels and 24h butler service for your convenience.

Every cabin is furnished with style and handsome pieces of regional art. The comfortable 16.5 sq.m. Deluxe cabin provides a king bed – convertible to 2 single beds and a floor-to-ceiling window to gaze at the river and landscapes during the journey. Read a book, comfortably nestled in the armchair or write correspondence to your loved ones at the desk. Ample storage will make you feel home while the bathroom provides separate toilet and rain shower.

The Upper Deck: The Upper Deck is the heart of the cruise. Where landscapes can be enjoyed while indulging yourself in relaxing activities. Whether you choose to read a book out in the open on sun shaded lounges, or if you prefer to mingle while sipping a cocktail of your choice. Spend your days swimming in our custom made swimming pool or relaxing on our cozy sun chairs. The upper deck also offers many shows throughout your stay. There is never a dull moment, and it is the perfect place to unwind during the journey.
