A way to enjoy Cambodia is to travel on the Mekong River. You’ll see green plants, fishermen with nets, and kids playing in the water.
The Mekong is one of the prettiest rivers in Asia, with small towns and floating markets along the banks. A cruise with Absolute Asia Tours is a good starting point to explore this interesting country.
Cruise Options
You can choose different cruise lengths, from one night, two nights, three nights to longer trips of 7 to 10 nights. The cruise route goes from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, or you can continue from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and then to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam on the longer trips.
On the longer cruises, you can get off the boat sometimes to visit traditional villages in the Mekong Delta.
These cruises are more suited for couples rather than families, as young kids might get bored, especially on longer journeys.
Best Time to Travel Mekong
We suggest taking a cruise on the Mekong from November to February. After February, until April, the water level is too low near Siem Reap for boats to travel, so it’s better to avoid cruising during that time.
