What travelers are saying

"It's hard to describe how lucky we are to have been able to work with Stephanie in planning our honeymoon to Japan. From the very beginning, Stephanie was friendly, flexible, and an absolute wealth of knowledge. We had several meetings with her leading up to our trip to come up with the perfect itinerary. Throughout this, Stephanie was mindful of our budget, without sacrificing anything. During our trip, Audley was available at all hours to help with anything and everything which was such a relief to know we had that resource available to us. I truly cannot imagine having planned this trip without all of Stephanie's guidance and knowledge- and cannot imagine taking another big trip like this without the help of Audley. Thank you again!"

"It is a difficult job to make everybody happy all of the time, but you ladies do a superb job. We were definitely off the beaten path, and when following that path there are sometimes unexpected surprises, but every bump was handled beautifully."

Irrawaddy River Tour Selection Trips

  • A number of river cruise lines now operate on the Irrawaddy, including Viking River Cruises, Pandaw River Expeditions, CroisiEurope, Belmond, Uniworld, Avalon, and AmaWaterways. 
  • Irrawaddy River cruises may take anywhere from four days to two weeks, depending on the itinerary.
  • Many cruise packages include sightseeing in Bagan, Yangon and Mandalay, increasing length to a week or more. 
  • You can choose one-way or roundtrip cruises. 
  • Usual embarkation or disembarkation points are Yangon in the south and Bagan and Mandalay to the north, but some cruises start or end farther north in Burma. 
  • You can also add on cruises along Burma’s Chindwin River, the Irrawaddy’s largest tributary and home to more jungles, gorges, and rural villages. 
  • Be sure to pack modest clothing that covers the shoulders and legs to enter Buddhist temples. In general, pack loose-fitting long pants and/or skirts for women, instead of shorts. Pick thin fabrics to stay cool.
  • When it’s winter in North America and Europe, it’s monsoon season in Burma. That means rain, but also somewhat cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. 
  • Dry season brings more heat, more visitors, and higher water levels (from snow melt in the Himalayas) that may result in longer portions of navigable river.
