“Cruising gently along the Ayeyarwady River, on a boat originally built in Europe to sail the inland waterways of Germany, The Road To Mandalay showcases the unique sights of Myanmar. From the royal city of Mandalay, the craft voyages south to the ancient capital of Bagan- with its 2500 pagodas spread across the dusty plain. The ship also heads north through forested gorges to Bhamo, near the Chinese border. The top deck brings the unique sights and sounds of the people who live along the river shores.” ~Gigi Stoll March 2014 |
