Brand new in July 2013 from Belmond, the Orcaella (named after a species of snubfin dolphin unique to the Irrawaddy) offers deluxe river cruising on the Chindwin and Irrawaddy Rivers between Rangoon and Bhamo. Standards are every bit as excellent as you would expect. 7- and 11-night cruises are offered, with daily cultural excursions. The 25 cabins are spacious and comfortable, with teak and rattan furniture and full-length glass windows looking out onto the unfurling landscape. Facilities include a swimming pool, fitness room, spa and an observation deck. First class food and wine list and great service. This is scenery, culture, adventure and relaxation all wrapped up in one luxurious package.
