INTRODUCING AMAPURA...The custom built AmaPura takes its name from the former royal capital of Amarapura (Sanskrit for “City of Immortality”). Designed

to provide an ultra comfortable experience along Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady River, this ship is beautifully furnished with a combination

of modern and traditional motifs and its shallow draft allows it to navigate the river nearly all year round.

The AmaPura has 28 suites featuring either a French Balcony,

Full Balcony or Twin Balconies, with en suite bathroom. The ship’s

elegant public areas include a restaurant and main lounge and

bar. There’s also a gift shop, spa, refreshing pool and a Sun Deck

perfect for lounging, enjoying a cocktail, or simply gazing out at

the ever changing scenery.

The AmaPura was designed to provide you with a serene home

away from home for the duration of your Myanmar voyage. After

a full day of sightseeing, there is no greater luxury than to return

to a peaceful, comfortable ship and be welcomed aboard with a

cool drink and chilled towel.

The friendly and resourceful staff will be at your service

throughout your entire Ayeyarwady river cruise.
