RV Paukan Cruise
Cruise company: The Ayravata Cruises
Cruise type: Luxury, Sharing, 29 cabins
Destinations: Myanmar - Myanmar
It’s named after the ancient city of Bagan - the old city of two thousand temples on the bank of the Ayeyarwaddy River. The RV Paukan was built in 2007 at the historic Myanmar shipyards in Yangon. It is like a boutique hotel on the river, beautifully furnished with a unique combination of modern and traditional motifs. The timber-walled cabins are furnished with colonial style cupboards, dresser and doors while the ceiling is traditional Myanmar. The single or double beds are proper and comfortable ones and not mere bunks, enough room for 55 passengers who will be looked after by a 30-member crew. For luxury-living, Paukan has suites, deluxe or superior cabins as well as singles for guest or guides. There are two massage rooms on the lower deck offering traditional Myanmar massage designed to give soothing relaxation
Introduction
RV Paukan was built in 1947-2007-2013-2014 at the Myanmar Shipyards in Yangon for Ayravata Cruises. The Yangon River and its dockyards were commented upon over two hundred years ago as "the most favourable river in the world for naval architecture" by the first British envoy to Myanmar Captain Michael Symes of His Britannic Majesty's 7th Regiment who arrived in Yangon in February of 1795.
