About RV Shin Arahan

With the Shin Arahan’s arrival on the Irrawaddy, we hit the spot - a grandiose ship cruising on a grandiose river.
 
The Irawaddy has remained unchanged in decades. Riversides dotted with a myriad of white and golden pagodas along the meandering Irrawaddy. People and traditions remain defiantly unaltered by modernity. Relive the days of the old Burma – just like Kipling and Orwell embraced it – in our treasure-filled expedition through the Land of Gold.
 

Various cruise lengths are available all around the year up- and downstream the Irrawaddy:
A five night extension (to a total of a nine night extravaganza tour) exploring the upper north part of the Irrawaddy River. 
Special program: Chartered cruises on the Chindwin River – up to 10 nights – are available on request (low season).

The Veritable Hosts
 
Shin Arahan is renowned for being a peerless host on water. They are personal. They are specially arranged to suit your palate, your adventurous spirit, your whims and fancies and at times, your need for privacy 
 
You are made to feel at home. A home that is as warm as it is exquisite. Private breakfast can be served to your staterooms or whilst sitting under a shade on the sun deck in the rising morning sun.
 
Comprehensive menus are created to leave you wishing for more. Single Spa and massage hideaways allow you to feel the complete Southeast Asian touch. Unique lounges of wonderful splendor fitted
with cosy and antique furnishings re-create that homely feeling, reminiscent of babies snuggled on their mother’s lap in the living room. But most importantly,  Shin Arahan creates intimate bonds and
friendships. You will likely be welcomed as a family member. The crew, who are kindred spirits, are keen to ensure your experience remains indelibly etched in your memory. With a genuine smile.
 
They remember your preferences and tastes. And as mentioned before - they remember your names
