CRUISE THE RIVER KWAI
River Kwai Cruises by CruiseAsia
Enjoy our River Kwai Cruises on the fabulous River Kwai aboard the RV River Kwai, the first inland river cruise ship in Thailand built as a colonial-style river cruiser based on designs used by the original Irrawaddy Flotilla. Founded in Burma in 1865, the flotilla was by the 1920s the largest privately-owned fleet of ships in the world.
With an experienced crew of 10 and a multilingual Cruise Director, the ship provides superb a la carte meals served al fresco on the sun deck and an “amazing itinerary” that includes sights that were previously unreachable by any other means of transportation.
