A 56-passenger ship, AmaPura cruises 10- and 14-day itineraries along the Irrawaddy — or Ayeyarwady — River in Myanmar, formerly Burma. These cultural-immersion cruises offer a glimpse into this unique and developing country, no longer closed to outsiders after more than 50 years of isolation. Excursions include trips to the glittering pagodas and colonial-style buildings of Yangon, the ancient temples of Bagan, the 19th-century palace of Mandalay, and many small villages in between.
