New cruise Ms.Hintha is set to operate between Mandalay and Bagan from October 16-March 31, 2014 

The traditional boat made of teak (which has been fully restored) will travel twice weekly between Mandalay and Bagan.

On other days of the week, the boat will do shorter trips (between Kyaukmyaung, Innwa and Mingun) along the Ayeyarwady, operating out of Bagan and Mandalay.

Onboard, there will be foot and body massages and four private cabins with shower facilities, as well as a sun terrace, bar and dining area.
