Myanmar

Myanmar, a country on the frontier of tourism, is emerging as a cultural supernova. Live it up with Avalon Waterways where your Irrawaddy River Cruise is akin to walking through the pages of National Geographic. Feast your eyes on the thousands of temples at Bagan, invigorate your palate with decadent local delicacies prepared by our expert chefs and feel the buzz of connection as we introduce you to school children, monks and farmers. Each turn of the Irrawaddy reveals a new adventure on an Asian river cruise with Avalon.
