RV Paukan was built in 2007 at the Myanmar Shipyards in
Yangon for Ayravata Cruises. The Yangon River and its
dockyards were commented upon over two hundred years ago
as "the most favourable river in the world for
naval architecture" by the first British envoy to
Myanmar Captain Michael Symes of His Britannic Majesty's
7th Regiment who arrived in Yangon in February of 1795.
The lovely Paukan is a boutique hotel on the river,
beautifully furnished with a unique combination of
modern and traditional motifs. The timber-walled cabins
are furnished with colonial style cupboards, dresser and
doors while the ceiling is traditional Myanmar. The
single or double beds are proper and comfortable ones
and not mere bunks, enough room for 55 passengers who
will be looked after by a 30-member crew.
For luxury-living, Paukan has suites, deluxe or
superior cabins as well as singles for guest or guides.
There are two massage rooms on the lower deck offering
traditional Myanmar massage designed to give soothing
relaxation.
The sun deck has a stage for cultural performances,
and a bar and lounge for relaxation and fun. The upper
deck has a lecture / movie room with LCD projector and
LCD TV screen.
Meals in the dining room on the main deck will
include both East and West cuisine, and dinner menus of
delicious dishes. Vegetarian meals can be prepared when
informed in advance. The price is inclusive of all
meals, sightseeing tours and entrance fees at monuments.
The Ayravata Cruises is proud to have Paukan as
another member to their family and is confident that she
will please her guests in the same manner as her sister
ship, the Pandaw.
Paukan is the ancient name of Bagan, the old city of
two thousand temples on the bank of the Ayeyarwaddy
River. This ancient capital, seat of the First Myanmar
Empire, is a treasure to the people of Myanmar.
Throughout the century of their existence, the temples
remain a place of living worship, maintained by
donations from royalty and the public.

Paukan might be the younger sister ship to the Pandaw
which was built in 1947, but she is a bigger vessel at
183ft 955.78m) in length. Her beam is 38ft (11.58m) and
draft is 3.09ft (1.14m). She runs on diesel engines,
with a speed of 10 knots. Safety and emergency equipment
are in place, as well as reliable communication systems.
