FACT SHE E T Belmond Orcaella is an intimate river cruiser that glides along Myanmar’s two main rivers, the Chindwin and Ayeyarwady. Leave the ship to experience the country up close. Witness the shimmering temples that dot the landscape and join off the beaten track explorations to remote regions. Wander through hilltop villages, meet the locals and learn about their culture and hunt for the perfect souvenir in the bustling markets.

THE JOURNEY Whichever journey you embark on, a qualified guide with exceptional knowledge of Myanmar and strong connections to the local communities will escort you. This offers a unique, genuine and personal perspective on the country. And because our excursions are in small groups, there is time to explore the sights at a leisurely pace. SEASON: AUGUST-MARCH

Discovering the Chindwin River

The rivers of Myanmar can vary as much as a 30ft in water level from season to season. From January through June, the Ayeyarwady’s levels may drop for a few weeks to a few months, creating a narrower channel for navigation. To allow for these changes, Belmond Orcaella may operate a revised itinerary and mooring locations may be amended.

To make your experience more special, stay at one of our Belmond hotels. We recommend the following hotels: ● Sandoway Beach Resort or Amara Ocean Resort in Ngapali, ● Belmond Napasai in Koh Samui, ● Belmond Jimbaran Puri in Bali or for the perfect retreat in Yangon we recommend ● Belmond Governor’s Residence. Or for the ultimate escape why not head off to Inle Lake, before or after your cruise and discover the area’s scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage. We can arrange for you to visit one of the magnificent sights and stay at our suggested hotel. We recommend Inle Princess Resort which is nestling on the eastern edge of Inle Lake, with secluded traditional wooden chalets with views across the tranquil lake.
