IRRAWADDY VOYAGER I

The River Vessel RV Irrawaddy Voyager I is one of two identical vessels designed by international naval architects and launched in Yangon - 2014. Designed and built specifically to meet the challenges of long distance cruising, these modern sleek vessels have set new standards in onboard operations, authentic innovative shore excursions and pioneering new routes along Myanmar’s waterways. Both RV Irrawaddy Voyager I and her sister ship RV Irrawaddy Voyager II, were commissioned to journey the navigable waters of not only the Irrawaddy River, but other uncharted waterways, such as the Chindwin River.

The ships hulls are of marine steel and therefore tough, safe and ‘invincible’. Shallow drafts, by design, enable each vessel to traverse tributaries, estuaries, deltas and other remote locations, particularly during the monsoon season’s fluctuating water levels.

The decks and superstructure of each vessel is a combination of Myanmar teak, aluminum features and full length ‘deck to deck-head’ (floor to ceiling) imported glass.

Some more delicate features include handcrafted paintings from commissioned Myanmar artists based in Yangon. These were inspired by nature and a landscape of cultural diversity and feature water festivals and historic events dating back to the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Cabins

For a slightly different perspective, on the main deck waterline, we present ten Prome Suites. A feature of the main deck Prome Suites is their closeness to the water and sightlines of the daily activities along the riverbank. This river level perspective is ‘up close and personal’ and a photographers delight. Prome Suites boast 180 degree panoramic views through the French styled balconies….full length ‘deck to deck-head’ (floor to ceiling) windows ensure the very best views. Your Prome Suites are appointed with Myanmar teak timber decks, speckled marble vanity tops, mahogany dark timber furniture, plush bed linen and King size beds.
