1888PressRelease - October and November 2017, and February 2018 will feature new expert-led themed cruises in Myanmar from the Strand Cruise - the Photography Cruise and Classical Music Cruise. Bookings are open now.
The Photography Cruise and Music Cruise are the latest in the Strand Cruise's series of themed voyages hosted by professional experts with additional activities onboard and during shore excursions which are designed to further enrich passengers' experience of Myanmar and its culture. They follow the successful 'Musical Voyage through Myanmar' and 'Culinary Cruise' journeys held earlier in the year.
The 'Photography Cruise'
The 'Photography Cruise' departs on Monday, 16 October 2017 with professional photographer Lucas Guardjian as the host, who will share his passion for photography and help passengers improve their own photographic skills. Lucas has travelled the 4 night Bagan to Mandalay cruise route and identified the ideal times to catch the best light at various locations, such as the sunrise over Bagan. He will coach passengers on different styles of photography and on framing, lighting, aperture and depth of field as well as post-production techniques.
The 'Classical Music Cruise'
For the 'Classical Music Cruise' there are two sailings, the first departing on Monday, 13 November 2017 and the second on Monday, 12 February 2018. Joining these will be classical musicians from the Opera de Paris and Orchestre de Paris who will delight passengers with a series of intimate concerts featuring scores from some of the most famous composers. These will be played in different locations such as a private sandback along the Ayeyarwady River and on the luxury Myanmar cruise ship's sundeck, to beautiful backdrops like the starlit night sky and a pagoda-filled countryside.
These themed Myanmar luxury cruises follow the Strand Cruise's scheduled 4 night Bagan to Mandalay itineraries and are priced from USD 1,875 per person sharing a Deluxe Cabin based on double occupancy.
