Pandaw Angkor is a four-star ship built in Ho Chi Minh City in 2012 which is the first cruise ship to be allowed to conquer Vietnam’s Northern rivers. It is 42.25 meters long, has 16 cabins and can hold up to 32 passengers.
In its first trip, it travelled to several destinations: the Song Da hydroelectric plant, Duong Lam ancient village, and Yen Duc Village. The tourists had a wonderful time taking in the sights, as well as the good food served on the boat, mostly local delicacies. But most of all, everyone had a memorable experience, knowing they made history in Vietnam’s tourism development.
