The shallow water Chinese built Myat Thanda  or 'precious coral' was completed in 1996. With so shallow a draft (3.5 foot) the flat bottomed boat can take visitors to areas seldom seen in 50 years. An expedition vessel offers sound proofed air conditioning. It offers good comfort but should not be classified as luxurious.

The river vessel has 10 cabins (14x12 foot)  each with a private bathroom and open promenade deck. The glass observation Lounge in the fore offers spectacular views of the river. A mid ship bar and dining room, slide projector, video and hi-fi system are also available. 

The 200 foot long ship with a open deck 36 foot beam is intended for cargo and passengers alike.

On shore exhibitions are led by an experienced and knowledgeable Burmese guide/lecturer who hose evening talks on local history and culture. Whilst transport and guidance is on offer guest are welcome to make their own individual explorations.

The Irrawaddy Flotilla Company main office is based in Scotland.
