Sunny, warm weather and crystal blue waters entice visitors to partake in a variety of surfside fun. Snorkel amongst a kaleidoscope of tropical marine life.

Day 6 :: Nawiliwili, Kauai (arrive 10am) Day 7 :: Nawiliwili, Kauai (depart 2pm) Named after the Wiliwili trees, which once lined its picturesque harbour, this lovely port of Kauai is your gateway to what many believe to be Hawaii's most beautiful island.

GET CLOSER THAN EVER Explore remote and often hard-to-navigate rivers and coasts in specially-designed luxury small ships. Originally known as the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company, Pandaw were the first, since the Second World War, to offer pioneering cruises on Burma's spectacular Irawaddy River, reaching Bhamo, one thousand miles from the sea, and went on to be the first on the stunningly attractive Chindwin River.
They also operate their own luxury small ship river expeditions on the Mekong River through Vietnam and Cambodia; the Red River and Halong Bay in Vietnam; Laos, China and Thailand on the Upper Mekong; as well as coastal expeditions to the Mergui Archipelago.

DOWNSTREAM ITINERARY (upstream differs - please ask for details)
VIENTIANE, LUANG PRABANG, JUNGLE AND VILLAGES
10 NIGHTS CHIANG KHONG - VIENTIANE (or reverse) SAVE UP TO 10% AND NO SINGLE SUPPLEMENT ON SELECTED DATES Enjoy a three country expedition as you traverse Laos to touch Thailand and Burma at the once notorious Golden Triangle. From Vientiane, the old French capital, and so redolent of L’Indochine Pandaw will be the first river expedition since pre war days to cross all Laos. Stop two nights at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang with its dazzling wood carved monasteries and then on deep into the mountains, through rapids and gorges on our high powered little Pandaw. Visit tribal villages and explore into jungle and countryside.
DAY 1 GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Transfers from airports or any city hotel in Chiang Rai (3 hours) and Chiang Mai (6 hours) with a visit to the Golden Triangle and the now infamous opium museum. Embark your ship by 16.00pm and cruise up river towards the Burma border for sunset.
DAY 2 INTO LAOS
We go through the immigration formalities at the Thai/Laos border and re-join the Laos Pandaw. Set sail downstream on the beautiful Upper Mekong River. After lunch, if time allows, enjoy sightseeing by foot in a Laos jungle village.
DAY 3 PAK OU CAVES
Morning walking tour of the local trading town of Pak Beng. Continue cruising downstream to Pak Ou, where we transfer to a local boat and enter the Nam Ou River to visit the extraordinary Pak Ou Buddha Caves. Admire spectacular limestone cliff faces in the Buddhist sanctuary.
DAY 4 LUANG PRABANG
In the early morning we will arrive in Luang Prabang. After breakfast, there is an opportunity for you to explore the beautiful temple city of Luang Prabang with its many Buddhist temples, libraries and Royal Palace. There is a buzzing night market and many delightful cafes and some quite good restaurants ashore.
DAY 5 LUANG PRABANG
Early morning walking tour to observe the morning alms offering by local people to the hundreds of monks who walk around the city every morning. Passengers are invited to join with the offerings we provide for the alms giving. Mid-afternoon traditional dance performance on board the Laos Pandaw. We moor overnight in Luang Prabang.
DAY 6 MUANG KHAY VILLAGE
Morning sightseeing by mini coach. We drive to see the deep jungle pools at the Khaung Si Waterfall and for the teak forest trails and butterfly farm. Time permitting, we will also visit the elephant camp. After lunch, enjoy a cooking demonstration on board and wonderful scenic cruising on the mighty Mekong River.
Sailing on a Pandaw ship is an outdoor, fresh air experience. However comfortable and roomy the staterooms, passengers prefer to spend their time sitting outside, on the promenade decks or on the vast observation deck above.
DAY 7 XAYABURI DAM
Pass through the Mekong water control lock at Xayaburi Hydro Electric Power Plant (itself an interesting and perhaps controversial tourist attraction). Late afternoon walking tour of a local village.
Unlike most other cruise ships, all cabins on the main deck and upper deck have sliding double doors opening into the promenade. As you sail, you'll find that your fellow passengers like to sit on deck, absorbed by the aweinspiring riverside panoramas that unfold before them. From the comfortable vantage point of a teak-floored Pandaw deck, it's hard not to become hypnotised by the unceasing human and wildlife activity that characterises the great rivers of Asia.
DAY 8 PAK SAO
Morning visit to Ban Pak Huoang, an interesting local village on the Thai/Laos border. Continue to Pak Sao where we enjoy an excursion to a plantation village and meet the local people.
DAY 9 VIENTIANE
We pass through a dramatic landscape of jungle and mountain where the river flows fast and wild. Amazing rock formations straddle the river banks. Here we enter the cultivated plains of Vientiane province. We arrive mid-afternoon in Vientiane where we moor overnight. Opportunity for independent exploration of this delightful, French influenced city.
Your Pandaw cruise fare includes:
Entrance fees, guide services (English language), gratuities to crew, main meals, locally made soft drinks, local beer and local spirits, jugged coffee and selection of teas and tisanes, mineral water. Transfers Chiang Rai / Chiang Mai to ship v.v. and ship to Vientiane / Udon Thani v.v.

The views are simply spellbinding. • Alesund, Norway - Alesund's buildings dazzle with dreamy turrets and ornate carvings of dragons and mythical figures. Nature has played its part too, as calm waters and distant snow-capped peaks add to the charm. • Stavanger, Norway - Stavanger is blessed with history and natural beauty. From the old port, the city radiates across a network of islands interlaced with graceful bridges.

Caldera, Costa Rica
Explore the exciting heritage, delicious cuisine, and proud culture of Central America, with several overnight stays. The first overnight stay is in Fuerte Amador, Panama. Take your pick between Frank Gehry’s Biomuseo, dinner on beautiful Flamenco Island or a visit to Panama City’s UNESCO World Heritage site, Panama Viejo. Or do them all. Then sail to Costa Rica, where the ship stays late or overnight at every port. A rainforest and incredible beaches on Golfito Bay and marlin fishing in Quepos give you a taste of local culture. There are spectacular views from the Papagayo Peninsula. San Juan del Sur is one of Nicaragua’s most popular resort destinations, offering sun sand, surf and sport fishing. Puntarenas is your gateway to a myriad of outdoor attractions, including boat trips through the mangroves and canopy zip line tours, or take a catamaran around Isla Tortuga where there may be dolphins to be spotted. Then it’s back to where you started, Caldera, for a final overnight where you could explore the rainforest, which begins just inside the coastline and continues up into the mountain ranges, and features rivers, waterfalls, and parks.
15 NIGHT HEART OF JAPAN 27 April 2019 | Azamara Quest® | Fares from £6,999 per person
Hiroshima, Japan
Dive deep into Japan, from feudal Samurai towns to tech-driven Tokyo, as you circumnavigate the country with stops at every major port. This voyage has eight maiden calls including less-traveled Hakodate, one of Japan’s first treaty ports in 1854, and Akita, which has been inhabited for thousands of years. Samurai fans will want to visit the ruins of Akita castle (from 733 AD) and Kubota Castle, where a defeated warrior once lived. Another noteworthy stop is the small fishing port of Sakaiminato, known for crab, Bluefin tuna and fertile farmlands. From here you can visit Honshu’s ancient shrines and Bronze Age burial mounds, but above all you’ll want to see Matsue Castle, one of Japan’s few remaining feudal castles. Throughout this voyage you can join small-group experiences to learn about Japan’s culture and traditions. Become a mini-expert in Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, Japanese architecture, bonsai, origami, geisha, or the etiquette of sushi. Of course you’ll dine like a king on incredible seafood, Kobe beef, ramen, shabu-shabu, tonkatsu and more. And you’ll be surrounded by gorgeous scenery too, from perfectly tended national forests and gardens to beautiful coastal bays and towering snow-capped peaks. Tokyo (Yokohama) | Day at sea | Hakodate | Aomori | Akita | Kanazawa | Sakaiminato | Busan, South Korea | Kitakyushu | Hiroshima | Takamatsu | Kobe (overnight) | Shimizu | Tokyo (Yokohama - overnight)
