The Strand Cruise
Summary
The grandeur of the iconic Strand Hotel departs from the land and sets sail down the Ayeyarwady River in the form of the luxurious Strand Cruise. The locally built vessel will offer just 27 cabins, each of which has been decorated with the finest Burmese craftsmanship and complimented by pieces of local art. With all modern amenities and a 24 hour butler service, guests will not want for anything while they drift down the scenic route. With the cruise scheduled to moor at exclusive stops during its journey, guests will not only get to reside in the lap of luxury but also take in all the cultural delights of Myanmar – the visits to Old Bagan and one of the most ancient Buddhist monasteries are sure to be highlights. When not taking in the sights of this incredible country, there will be plenty to do on the ship as well, with many facilities and activities available to ensure that every moment spent here is enjoyable. Whether you opt to spend your time getting pampered at the spa facilities, sipping on an expertly crafted cocktail in the lounge, or attending one of the delicious evening BBQ which takes place on the upper deck, you are sure to enjoy the most blissful of stays.
