About the Ship

Pandaw’s boutique ships were built new and designed and finished as replicas of colonial river steamers, replete in teak and brass, potted palms, open decks, and quality cotton sheets on your bed. These replica ships, while reminiscent of the past, incorporate modern navigation and safety equipment, as well as modern bathrooms and air-con in each cabin. These small ships have the highest passenger – space ratio of any ship afloat.

Dining is single sitting with buffet breakfast and lunches, and informal dinners with waiter service . Smart casual dress is expected in the dining room. With the highest staff guest ratio of any ship in the world there is an incredible level of care. It is more like being on a 1920′s private yacht party than a cruise ship.

The much loved Pandaw staterooms are roomy at 15 square meters. Finished in traditional marine brass and teak, all cabins have the necessary modcons, and those on the Main and Upper decks open onto promenade decks with their own rattan seating.

Sailing on a Pandaw is essentially an outdoor experience. Whilst the staterooms are very comfortable and roomy, passengers prefer to spend their time sitting outside, on the promenade decks or on the vast observation deck above. Unlike other cruise ships every window (except port holes on lower deck) can open.

The Pandaw’s have an ultra shallow draft enabling them to moor where larger ships could not stop. Inland water navigation in these regions is challenging and the Pandaw’s have been specially designed to cope with constantly changing river conditions. With modern navigation aids and very experienced crew, a Pandaw boat is one of the safest on our rivers.

We LOVE Phuket – best value holidays and high standard resorts

Personally, I’d go back to Phuket in a heartbeat. In fact I am going back there in October for a friend’s birthday and I can’t wait.

These packages include return flights from Auckland on Malaysia Airlines. Malaysia Airlines connect right through to Phuket without stopovers (you transit Kuala Lumpur) leaving Auckland at 12.15am on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday and arriving in Phuket for the start of a new day at 9.45am. Just watch those departure days though as you’d need to check in on the Tuesday, Thursday or Friday nights.

This is just a small selection of the vast range of resorts on Phuket. I’d recommend ‘pushing the boat out a little’ and going for a 4 or 5 star resort as they’re surprisingly cheap. Compare this to an 8 night holiday in Fiji or the Cook Islands – those destinations might be closer but you’ll be paying 3 or 4 times as much for your holiday!

Phuket 8 night packages

• Some recent feedback from a Kiwi family holiday in Phuket
• Scoop’s firsthand report on his November trip to Phuket (and lots of tips to ensure an excellent time)
• Our Flickr photo album of our own Phuket photos – no brochure shots here folks, only the real thing!

Sales:

• Sales Start: 11/06/2013
• Sales End: 29/06/2013

Inclusions:

• Return economy airfares to Phuket flying Malaysia Airlines from Auckland.
• 8 nights accommodation in your choice of hotel/resort
• All prices are based on 2 people travelling together and sharing a room, please ask for prices if you wish to travel alone or there’s more then 2 of you
