57 Anawrahta A British-Buddhist Sanctuary Experience the finest cruise in Myanmar! The great Anawrahta was built to resemble a British paddle steamer, as a nod to the opulence of the British Empire during its colonial reign of Myanmar, with its polished laquer, shining brass and intricately carved woodwork. The ship provides an impressive stay with its large cabins and, named after the royal founder of Burma, (what is now modern-day Myanmar), the influence of Buddhist architecture is intertwined with the colonial presence that resounds proudly throughout. Expect delicious cuisine presented on pressed white tablecloths in the elegant Hintha Hall restaurant, and comfortable rattan chairs in the Mandalay Lounge, which much resembles an old colonial club. You can enjoy relaxing treatments in the vessel’s spa, which is inspired by Mandalay’s White Hsinbyume Pagoda, before heading to Kipling’s Bar for a drink, where you can watch the world float by.
