Irrawaddy Cruise Ships & Onboard Life
Irrawaddy ships range from romantic colonial-style teak vessels to sleek modern riverboats — all intimate, comfortable and immersive.
What to expect aboard
Colonial-style & modern ships
Choose a teak-and-brass river vessel evoking the days of Empire, or a contemporary boutique riverboat.
Outward-facing cabins
Windows or balconies onto the river — watch pagodas and village life drift past from your room.
Burmese & Asian cuisine
Regional Myanmar specialties alongside international dishes, showcasing local flavors.
All-inclusive touring
Guided temple visits, village walks and craft demonstrations included in the fare.
Sun deck & enrichment
Shaded decks for watching the river, with talks on Myanmar’s history, faith and culture.
Warm hospitality
Gracious Burmese crews and gentle, unhurried days on one of Asia’s great rivers.
Because ships are small and the season is short, the best cabins and dates book up early — and Myanmar sailings can be limited, so planning ahead is important.
We confirm current operators and sailings, then match the ship, cabin and any Yangon or Inle Lake extensions to you.
