This 8-night Asian river cruise takes place aboard the RV Orient Pandaw, along the Rajang River. Tourism is minimal along this remote route and passengers can expect jungle scenery on every side, as Borneo and the surrounding region houses a diverse rainforest, filled with a vast array of plant species. The Iban tribe lives along the river and passengers can enjoy day excursions to view their longhouse architecture. Jungle excursions and boat trips to the Pelagus rapids are also available for individuals at all levels (beginner to skilled). Passengers will also have the opportunity to visit Sibu and Sarikei, two prosperous Chinese cities along the river route. All onboard cabins offer air conditioning units, blankets and in-room safes to protect your possessions. All meals are provided at the onboard restaurant, which offers Asian-American fusion cuisine.
