Belmond Road to Mandalay @ Katie Cadar

Belmond River Cruises

Discover Exotic and mysterious Myanmar

The Road to Mandalay offers itineraries between Yangon and Bhamo on the Irrawaddy river, close to the border with China, and cruising on the Chindwin River, passing mountain ranges through western Myanmar, and close to the Indian border.

Belmond’s hotels, trains and river cruises run initiatives to support the places and people that surround the destinations in which they operate. As part of their “Think Global, Act Local” approach, Belmond purchases as much food as possible from sustainable sources, supports educational programs and follows sustainable practices to reduce its impact on the environment and ensure energy efficiency.

Belmond Myanmar River Cruises

Enjoy the comfort of the accommodations and service on either The Road to Mandalay, which operate between July and April. During your Belmond (formerly Orient-Express) cruise on the 82-passenger The Road to Mandalay, you’ll visit Yangon, with its ancient palaces and religious landmarks; Ava, Mandalay’s ancient capital; Bagan, with its more than 2,000 Buddhist temples; Mount Popa, the sacred home of spirits; Shwe Kyet Yet and Sagaing, and the colonial hill station of Maymyo, with its botanical gardens.

Dining onboard

Onboard you'll savor regional as well as Western cuisines, with the option to accompany your meals with European and Australian wines. A fitness and treatment room provide a range of spa treatments, while in the evening, local entertainers perform for your enjoyment.

Our recommendation

Consider extending your river journey before or after your Myanmar boat cruise with a stay at the beautiful Governor's Palace in Yangon, a colonial teak mansion, or to visit Lake Inle or Ngapali Beach.
