Itineraries
- Day 1: Siem Reap - Tonle Sap Lake (L, D)
-
The Tonle Sap (The Great Lake) is the flowing heart of Cambodia, giving love and life to this nation. The Tonle Sap has more fish than any other lake in the world and is home to an incredible variety of birds, including rare and endangered feathered life.
At 12 pm (noon), we gather at the meeting point followed by a quick transfer to the boutique ship. The ever-smiling crew welcomes us with unbridled warmth. A refreshing welcome drink awaits us followed by a sumptuous lunch on the ship.
Then, it is a lazy afternoon as the ship glides along the water. Dinner is at Dining Hall. Enjoy a spectacular experience on the sun-deck as we bathe in the glow of the moon and the radiance of the stars.
The ship then moors overnight on The Great LakeMeals: L, D
Accommodation: Jahan cruise
- Day 2: Kampong Chhnang - Kampong Cham (B, L, D)
-
The day in fact everyday - starts with an invigorating Tai Chi lesson on the sundeck, just as the sun begins its slow rise. Coffee and tea awaits the early bird. Before dawn, the ship sets sail across the Tonle Sap Lake. As the ship is about to exit the lake, we see spectacular marshlands floating along the river banks of Kampong Chhnang province.
The afternoon cruise continues with a languid meander along the Tonle Sap, which narrows through leafy swaths of the Southeast Asian jungle. Here, the river is very narrow and we are greeted by kids waving enthusiastically at us from the banks.
Follow a short bus trip to the see the Khmer-styled pottery at the Aundaung Russey village. We then embark on a truly marvelous motorboat excursion from Kampong Chhnang to see the wetlands, floating houses and fish farms in the region before reaching Kampong Cham in the evening. Further down the river we take part in an ox cart rally before being introduced to the Heritage Line pro bono literacy project.Meals: B, L, D
Accommodation: Jahan cruise
- Day 3: Kampong Cham - Wat Hanchey (B, L, D)
-
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 bank to swim in the tea-coloured 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 4: Phnom Penh (B, L, D)
-
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 Cambodia's 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 any 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.Meals: B, L, D

We were two half days and therefore only one night on the ship Mekong Eyes, which in our view was quite sufficient to get an impression of the Mekong Delta. The welcome on the boat was very warm and in general the crew was very friendly and helpful. Our cabin was right at the front of the corridor and was therefore quiet. For us there was nothing to complain about on the ship. Also all meals were tasty and rich. The tours are very touristy (have some coffee), but that's okay, considering that people live part of this tourism. And after all, in the short amount of time we have received an extensive "sweeping blow" from the region. Our guides have managed the whole great and sometimes very humorous knowledge conveys. With all that, there was still plenty of time to relax on the deck chairs and enjoy the drive on the Mekong. Definitely worth the mini-cruise, as it takes a very long journey to and from Saigon.

Even though the travel time in the region brought us a lot of heavy rain, the crew always tried to make their stay as comfortable as possible. Many small landings to islands, markets and interesting places along the flood-leading Mekong made the stay varied, although many a bridge between ship and land was daring designed. The crew was very dedicated and helpful, unfortunately the English pronunciation was sometimes difficult to understand, so 1 star deduction. The on the ship with a lot of commitment offered food was delicious, varied and always fresh, especially the large and varied fruit plates at breakfast, at any time with offers good restaurants comparable. The cabins on the ship were small, but adequate and clean, unfortunately the air conditioning was above the head of the bed, which also affected my rating. Overall, recommended.
