Pandaw Cruises Introduces Ultra-Luxury Suites on the Newly Renamed Tonle Pandaw

Pandaw Cruises, a well-known operator in Asian river cruising, is set to launch a new suite-only vessel on the Mekong River aiming to cater to the increasing demand for luxury travel. This ship, previously named Pandaw III, has been rebranded as the Tonle Pandaw and is scheduled for refurbishment, with plans to resume service on November 1, 2025.

The Tonle Pandaw will feature 14 luxurious suites, each with a private deck, decorated with Cambodian textiles and reclaimed Burma teak paneling. Guests will enjoy personalized service with dedicated butlers at their disposal.

In addition to the luxurious suites, the refurbished ship will include modern amenities such as a spa, gym, library, and a cocktail saloon, enhancing the onboard experience for travelers exploring the stunning scenery of Southeast Asia.

The vessel will offer two distinctive itineraries along the Mekong River: a 3-night cruise from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in Vietnam to Phnom Penh in Cambodia, and a 7-night journey extending from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap in Cambodia.

With an ultra-shallow draft of just over one meter, the Tonle Pandaw can access areas that are often unreachable by other vessels, allowing for exploration of remote regions along the Mekong.

Through this new luxury suite concept, Pandaw Cruises reinforces its commitment to delivering distinctive and high-end travel experiences designed for affluent explorers of Southeast Asia’s waterways.
