AmaPura
The AmaPura is custom-built and it takes its name from the former royal capital of Amarapura (Sanskrit for "City of Immortality"). Designed to provide an ultra-comfortable experience along Myanmar's Ayeyarwady River, this vessel is beautifully furnished with a combination of modern and traditional motifs and its shallow draft allows it to navigate the river nearly year-round.
