Your boat differs somewhat from normal river cruise boats due to the demands of the route. The boat has 10 cabins, an air-conditioned common room, a restaurant and a large sun-deck located on a barge which is towed along by a tug boat. This has the advantage that the tug boat can accompany you along the shallow parts of the delta while the barge remains on the main part of the river. This means that throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to have a break from cycling and spend the rest of the day on the barge.
