Ayravata Cruises was founded in the 2003 by three Myanmar entrepreneurs with the support and management of a European expert in cruises on Asian rivers. Thanks to the vast experience of the founders in the Myanmar hospitality and tourism business coupled by the expertise of the foreign executive director, Ayravata Cruises is not just a successful cruise operator but a shipbuilder as well. Rv PAUKAN 2015, the fourth new vessel of our fleet, was launched in September 2015. She was long-term chartered to a renowned US American cruise company under the trade name "Avalon Myanmar" and jointly operated by us till the end of the 2018 on the Bagan - Upper Irrawaddy Route. She is the first luxury ship able to sail the entire length of the Irrawaddy River up to Bhamo (Kachin State), the uppermost navigable point for a vessel of this size, even during the low water season (December to May) due to her extremely shallow draft. The 36-guest Paukan 2015 embraces the ambience of modern Asian Design, whilst providing comforts and conveniences found only in the finest hotels of Myanmar. Presently Paukan operates four ships: • RV Paukan 2007 (a newly built Charming Cruising Boutique Hotel) • RV Paukan 2012 (A small cruising boutique hotel) • Irrawaddy Explorer Luxury Cruise (The Irrawaddy Explorer Cruising Hotel) started operation in September 2014 • Paukan Princess Luxury Cruise (RV Paukan 2015) started operation in October 2015
