Pandaw has announced that it has acquired the
MY Andaman Explorer, which the line will deploy on the coasts of Southeast Asia.
The
Andaman Explorer has a hull built to "ice class" with extra thick plates. The
ship is on its way to Rangoon, where it will be redecorated and refurnished in
Pandaw's style. A fuller refit will follow in 2017.
Each of the ship's suites consists of a sitting room, bedroom and marble
bathroom. There is a saloon, indoor dining room and two teak decks aft, the
lower for outdoor dining and the upper with a Jacuzzi for lounging. There is
also a forward observation deck below the bridge. The ship comes with two RIB
tenders for excursions to islands and beaches.
Pandaw plans an informal recce cruise between Rangoon and Ranong in Thailand in
February. Interested agents should get in contact with Pandaw about the recce
cruise by emailing angela@pandaw.com.
From June to September 2016 Pandaw will start its first official voyages out of
Bali exploring Indonesian coastal waters: Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo Islands and
Flores. From October 2016 to April 2017 the yacht will offer cruises on the
Burma coast between Ranong and Rangoon, an area that includes the Mergui
Archipelago and old colonial seaports like Moulmein. |
