What people love about Mekong Cruises from Siem Reap
- 3-Day Downstream Mekong River Cruise from Siem Reap To Phnom Penh
A fantastic way to explore Cambodia! The river cruise was so relaxing, and the scenery was beautiful. We especially enjoyed the stops at local villages—it felt like we got a real glimpse of daily life. The staff was so friendly and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!
- 4-Day Downstream Mekong River Cruise from Siem Reap To Phnom Penh
Four days on the Mekong River sounded amazing, and this trip truly delivered. My partner and I enjoyed the intimate vibe of the ship, and our cabin was comfortable and beautifully decorated. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of meals onboard—they served some of the best Amok we had in Cambodia! The excursions were well-planned and insightful; visiting a local school and seeing how silk is made were big highlights. Our guide was a gem, very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Definitely worth every penny!
- 7-night Mekong Downstream Cambodia Vietnam on Mekong Navigator
Staff excellent. Cabin lovely but situated back of boat and engine noise so loud prevented sleep. Other passengers were warned if this and given a reduced rate. Food and service excellent. Mooring at Phnom Penh for three nights with no view but underside of dock made balcony unusable for almost half of cruise. €1000 refund from Lotus accepted. Tourradar attempt to claim 20% of that disgraceful.
