| Pandaw Laos rejig

PANDAW Cruises has announced a new 10-night itinerary on the Upper Mekong in Laos, with the rejig aiming to “futureproof” the line’s expeditions in the light of the construction of several planned dams on the river which is already impacting water levels in the region.

The new voyage sails between Chiang Khong in Thailand and Pak Lay, a large town just upstream of Vientiane, with the itinerary no longer including touring in Vientiane which is instead being offered as a pre- or post-cruise extension.

The revised itinerary is in place immediately and applies to all new and existing bookings – see pandaw.com.
