Cruise Ships in Myanmar : Sanctuary Ananda

Sanctuary Ananda offers untold luxury for its guests, expertly blending modern amenities with traditional touches. Suites have a more contemporary, chic feel than some boats in the region; tastefully furnished with polished teak and luxurious fabrics. The spacious Owner’s Suite doesn’t fail to impress, featuring a large veranda with sunloungers along with additional privileges such as a butler service, private guide and exclusive dining experiences.

You can watch local life meander past from your private balcony or from the delightful sun deck with its plunge pool, while the Kansi Panorama Lounge is the perfect place for enjoying relaxed evening drinks and fascinating lectures.

You’ll have the chance to dock and explore lesser known areas of Myanmar, with the ship’s shallow draft granting it access to areas unreachable by many vessels in the region.

Cabins

The 21 cabins span three decks and four categories, including 27 square metre Suites and Deluxe Suites, 32 square metre Luxury Suites and the plush 67 square metre Owner’s Suite. All feature en suite bathrooms, air conditioning and full balconies.
