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.
When
sailing our passengers sit on deck and become absorbed
by great panoramas as they unfold about them.
Spellbound, one cannot help but to meditate upon the
unceasing human and wildlife activity of these teaming
water worlds.
State
Cabin
The Pandaw stateroom is the most
celebrated feature of our ships. Finished in brass and
teak, the main and upper deck rooms are very spacious at
168 square feet (15.6 sqm). Much loved by all our
passengers we have ensured that with each ship we build
the stateroom remains the same. Our cabins do not have
mini-bars, satellite TV’s, internet or phones. There
is a 24 honesty bar on the sundeck. Pandaw
passengers usually want to escape from the tiresome
features found in international business hotels.
Many passengers describe life on
board a Pandaw more like being a guest on a private
motor yacht than a cruise ship. Where we go and what we
see is intrepid in extreme. What you come back to is a
floating base of discreet comfort, caring service and
all the good things one looks for in life.
Bar & Dining
The Pandaw dining rooms are designed to open up along
the sides and only at night do we close them up and use
air conditioning. We know our passengers want
fresh air not chilled air.
We offer a great choice of local cuisine and exotic
foods. We source supplies as locally as possible,
given environmental health regulations. Breakfast and
lunch are buffets and dinner is served at the tables.
Passengers who do not like hot or spicy foods are
offered European alternatives and vegetarians are well
catered for. Our chefs know that the majority of
passengers want to eat the best of each country they
pass through.
