Myanmar's rivers are subject to seasonal variations in the water level - sometimes by as much as 28 meters. Such changes can occur suddenly and without prior warning - even overnight. This may well result in the ship not being able to sail at the expected speed and/or be unable to pass under bridges or indeed the water level being too low to safely progress. A beautiful feature of the rivers is its sandbanks but navigationally these also pose many problems - not least of which is the potential to run aground. Such experiences are part of the excitement of any river expedition and are to be expected. Our published itineraries are indication only and subject to change due to all the above. Additionally from time to time the river authorities may also close sections of the river but we normally get some advance notice of this. We will always replace the itinerary based on our 'safety first' philosophy whilst doing all we can to respect the places published or substituting alternatives. It simply may not always be possible to maintain every feature.
