RV Tonle Pandaw
Finished in rich teak and brass, the RV Tonle Pandaw recently went a retrofit in 2025 upgrading the guest accommodations to offer four luxury cabins spanning over 40 square meters. Now sailing along the Classic Mekong route, the ship features a total of X staterooms along with the famous Pandaw upper deck saloon, observation decks, and a formal dining room. This ship is an old favourite and has a glowing ambience complete with a professional spa and library on the lower deck. Despite being one of the larger ships in our fleet, the RV Tonle Pandaw has an ultra-shallow draft of just over a meter and can usually get up river into low water areas when other vessels are stuck well below.
