The cruise itinerary is between Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Siem Reap, operated since 2003 when the ship was launched, Pandaw River Cruises was the first river travel company to sail on this route. The line since has put 3 more riverboats on Mekong, offering 3-, 4- and 7-night itineraries visiting Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat temples on the route through Cambodia.
Mekong Pandaw has 24 identical cabins (sized 16 m2 / 170 ft2). All staterooms feature twin beds (some converting to double), French windows, air-conditioning, safes, desks, hairdryers, slippers and bathrobes in the en-suite bathrooms. The suites additionally offer Nespresso machines. An onboard laundry is available, too.
Like on similar Pandaw river cruise ships, Mekong Pandaw passengers are able to spend leisure time on the aft part of the covered upper deck. Meals are served bistro-style indoor and outdoor on the upper deck. Breakfast is buffet style, but preceded by light bites, tea and coffee for early risers. Lunch is served either buffet style or sit-down, while dinners are 4-course affairs. Pandaw's food ingredients are locally sourced and always fresh.
Domestic beers, spirits, soft drinks, coffee and tea are complimentary and served on the upper deck at the bar/library lounge. An open-bridge policy is in place. Wi-Fi is slow because of the remote regions traveled. However, some riverside ports along the cruise itinerary feature Internet shops.
