NEW Ship for the Kerala Backwaters

Pandaw are excited to announce a new build vessel for the Kerala backwaters in South India.

Launching in October 2025, the ten cabin Kochi Pandaw has been specially designed for this routing, whilst maintaining the much-loved classic Pandaw cabin and wrap round promenade decks. This will be Pandaw’s fourth ship in India and reflects the increasing demand for river cruises in India.

The Kochi Pandaw will be built in a Kochi yard under the supervision of the Pandaw build team and is the fruit of an exciting collaboration between Pandaw managers and Kochi based specialist naval architects.

It is anticipated that many Pandaw regulars will combine this route with a river expedition on the Ganges or Brahamputra, where Pandaw is well established as the premier operator. The Kerala backwaters offer an incredible diversity of culture in addition to breathtaking scenery, beaches and its own cuisine.

The Kochi Pandaw will operate weekly an eight-day circular itinerary from Kochi port visiting the main towns and remoter areas of the backwaters with its 900km of waterways that connect rivers with lakes. There will be exciting visits to ancient churches, Hindu temples, artisan villages and the legendry beaches of the Malabar coast.

Cochin International Airport has flights connecting to Europe with the Middle Eastern airlines and direct flights to most South-East Asian cities in addition to domestic flights connecting to most major Indian cities.
