15 THE RV Samatha The RV Samatha The finest in luxury river cruising in Myanmar. APT's new boutique river ship, the RV Samatha, takes luxury river cruising to a new level. Join us aboard the finest vessel to grace the picturesque waters of the Irrawaddy River. Introducing the RV SamaTha Adding to its magic and mystery, Myanmar's Buddhist customs influence every aspect of life. It is for this reason our new river ship takes its name from the Buddhist practice of calming the mind, Samatha (pronounced sa-ma-ta). Graceful and sophisticated, the RV Samatha has been specifically designed to provide our adventurous travellers with a truly authentic and yet supremely luxurious experience. Cruise the Irrawaddy in Style Delivering the finest standards on the Irrawaddy River, the onboard services and amenities are unique to the RV Samatha, and unlike those on APT's European river ships. Beautifully furnished with a fusion of contemporary and traditional motifs, this new floating five-star hotel epitomises style and luxury. Accommodating just 60 guests, you'll enjoy an intimate cruising experience. All Inclusive Luxury Everything is included throughout your Irrawaddy River cruise – your meals, drinks, tipping, porterage, transfers, entertainment, sightseeing, port charges and more – so the only thing you'll need in your pocket is your camera. Spacious Balcony Suites The RV Samatha has 30 lavish suites, all of which feature either a Panoramic Balcony or Window or Twin Balconies. See pages 16-17 for more information.
