Mandalay River Cruising

Since yesterday was Myanmar’s national independence day holiday, we’re reminded about Savvy’s friends at Belmond (formerly Orient Express) telling us about the wonderful, new Orcaella, a luxurious ship they are operating in Myanmar (once called Burma).

The amazing itinerary is 13 days exploring the history and beauty of Mandalay and the Chindwin river as you sail past golden temples, quaint villages and sacred mountains. It’s a great way to deep dive into the culture of Myanmar, exploring off-the-beaten path in the most luxurious way possible.

We can’t wait to sail on the Orcaella! Oh, and Happy New Year’s Everyone!
