Boutique Southeast Asia and India river expedition operator PandawRiver Expeditions is promoting a new collection of Combo Expedition River Cruises for guests with more free time to explore at a leisurely pace.
There are three combination cruises either available or proposed in countries including India, Burma, Vietnam or a multi-destination itinerary encompassing Laos, Thailand and Burma.
Pandaw describes the new itinerary options on its website as “a unique and special way to get off the beaten track and immerse yourself in the local culture in a way like no other.”
