Itineraries
- Day 1: Phnom Penh
-
Phnom Penh was once the Paris of the East. Despite its rapid development, it has retained a lot of its rustic charm and elegance. After breakfast, we will be captivated by a comprehensive lecture on Cambodias modern history. This will be followed by a city tour of this dynamic, historical capital city of Cambodia which has managed to preserve huge slices of its French colonial allure. Sightseeing in the morning will include visiting the dazzling white and gold edifice of the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, and witnessing exceptionally beautiful Khmer craft at the National Museum.
After lunch at a local restaurant, we will visit the Genocide Museum and the Killing Field in town. Be prepared to be heart wrenched by this stark reminder of the genocide that transpired during Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime.
We go back to the ship after our museum visit. Take a rest on your cabin balcony or the lounge and get prepared for an exciting evening event. The evening starts with a variety of cocktail served on the sun deck. Take a seat and enjoy the following Apsara dance performance. Experience the brilliance and richness of this culture, the soothing sounds of traditional music, the calming scent of incense sticks and a barbeque on the sundeck. It is indeed a truly marvelous experience, dining in the open with the stars and the moon as our companions.
Including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overnight in Phnom Penh. In the middle of the night around 1am we depart already during a night cruise to Kampong Chnnang. This region is 100km away from Phnom Penh.Meals: L, D
Accommodation: Jahan cruise
- Day 2: Phnom Penh - Kampong Chhang - Silversmith Village
-
Before the sun peeks over the horizon, the cruiser sets sail towards Kampong Chhnang (we leave Phnom Penh after midnight) and the Tonle Sap River - an amazingly narrow river - which glides through leafy swaths of the Southeast Asian jungle. We are greeted by cacophonous children who waive enthusiastically early in the morning when they bring their livestock for a bath in the meandering Tonle Sap River.
Then we approach Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia's "waterworld" where everything is on stilts balanced on rich water rich soil- it's an awesome sight whilst practicing Tai Chi on the deck.
Here we take a motorboat excursion to the landing, followed by a short bus trip to see the Khmer-styled pottery at the Aundaung Russey village. Then, it is back to the river for an adventurous motorboat excursion to the wetlands, floating houses and fish farms in the region.
We then return to the ship for lunch whilst cruising the narrow and meandering Tonle Sap. We will cruise toward Prek K'dam where we will take a walk through the silversmith village of Koh Chen where the entire community of villagers is involved in making various silver items for sale.
Back onboard, the ship sails back towards Phnom Penh again and will moor for overnight midstream near Phnom PenhMeals: B, L, D
Accommodation: Jahan cruise
- Day 3: Kampong Cham
-
We will depart before the break of dawn from Phnom Penh with a stop at the little known Chong Koh silk weaving village. We will then return to the ship and will cruise past the Mekong's tranquil villages, exhilarating river life and sun-hardened fishermen on their make shift boats.
We will tour the rural Angkor Ban village where time stood still. We are transported back a hundred years into an era unsullied by modernity. The houses here are truly rustic, made by hand and without any concrete. But most of all, we feel overwhelmed by the unbridled warmth of the villagers.
Travelers can take part in the daily activities of the villagers to experience village life first hand. Then, we are back to the ship to cruise towards Kampong Cham.Meals: B, L, D
Accommodation: Jahan cruise
- Day 4: Kampong Cham - Kampong Chhnang
-
We will wake up in the small hours of the morning, truly energized to embark on a land journey to the pre-Angkorian temple of Wat Hanchey. Travelers either take a motor-taxi or climb the 291 steps to the top. Located at the top of a hill overlooking the river, it offers one of the most breath-taking views in Cambodia. Built in the 8th century, this ancient structure, together with a bigger and newer addition underscores the superb architecture of the Chenla Empire which predates the mighty Angkor temple complex. We even get to engage in light banter with some of the monks in the area. We will return to the ship to witness a blessing ceremony performed by orange-clad local monks.
When the tide allows, we will enjoy a surprise sojourn in our zodiacs (inflatable boats) to the nearby beach to swim in the tea-colored Mekong River, an experience that will, no doubt, dominate dinner conversations in the weeks to come.
We will then cruise towards Kampong Cham to visit Wat Nokor, a wat built within the ruins of an ancient temple which holds a timeless story. On the way back to the ship, we will visit an orphanage. Along the way, we will have to maneuver a 2-kilometer rickety bamboo bridge. Our sense of balance lies in the balance.Meals: B, L, D
Accommodation: Jahan cruise
- Day 5: Kampong Cham - Siem Reap
-
We will disembark the ship at after breakfast and boarding a coach at 9:00am for a transfer from Kampong Cham to the drop off point in Siem Reap. We get to munch on snacks and enjoy cold drinks along the journey. We will stop briefly at Skon, known as Spiderville for its fried spiders, a delicacy in this country then we will arrive in Siem Reap in the early afternoon.

All previous reviews reflect the cruise, we really enjoyed the course, the very soothing pace, the excursions, the shores, the fishing villages and floating villages, this life around the lake ... the staff is very kind and friendly We were disappointed with the quality of the services because the price, for us, is high and suddenly we expected to have a little more comfort, even if we missed anything essential. The high price corresponds to the difficulty of organization, specific boat etc .. I just wanted to prevent to do it all the same because it is unique as course but to know in advance even if my meals will be excellent for example that the breakfast is rich but simple, it's up to you to make the room on the second day ...

My wife and I had the opportunity to do this cruise on May 18th, and we loved it. Being able to observe the tumult of Phnom Penh and life on the other side, while enjoying a sublime and hearty aperitif and meal was a very pleasant moment. In addition, the crew and especially Nasy, are adorable and caring for the guests. Moreover, we appreciate the ecological commitment and solidarity. Since my wife and I are volunteers for the Angkor-Belgium association, we will strongly advise you with the sponsors who will visit Cambodia and Phnom Penh. Good continuation !

- Pace was great. Saw a lot, didn't feel like rushed and could see in depth with a lot of variety but not so slow to be bored. - Lots of choices of things to do every day. - The cruise tour director was awesome. Everything ran smoothly. - Cruise boat new. Luxurious with hard woods and kept spotless"
