There is a new cruise along Myanmar’s Irrawaddy River this Christmas and New Year’s Eve

The people from The Strand Cruise will be holding a four-night Christmas river cruise from Dec 22, where travelers get to enjoy a Christmas dinner while on the way to Bagan from Mandalay. There’s also a four-night New Year’s Cruise that sets off from Dec 29, in case you want to make ringing in 2016 a little more special. 

The ship has 27 cabin suites, and they come with butler service and the requisite floor-to-ceiling windows found in luxury suites. The crown jewels are the two Strand Suites at the front of the ship, and they come with outdoor terraces. Those who stay in these two suites also get to stay at The Strand hotel before or after their cruise. Oh, and there are spa treatments on board as well.

The cruise operator is offering complimentary travel for buddies, couples and those who’d to share a cabin suite with a paying guest. Prices start from $4,176 per person and if you make a reservation before Dec 31, you get 20% off your trip. The first 10 bookings also get a free hot air balloon ride to see over 20,000 ancient temples in Bagan. 

You can make reservations here.
