Standing Together: Raising Support for Myanmar Earthquake

The 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar last week has left widespread devastation toppling homes and upending countless lives. In this moment of crisis, Pandaw is coming together to support this resilient nation as for many of our Burmese team members, this isn’t just a disaster on the news - it’s their hometowns and families.

For 30 years, Myanmar has been fundamental to our story. It was here in the mid 1990's that we launched our first river expeditions, establishing the model of authentic, community-connected cruising that defines us today.
