The capital of Phnom Penh in the past was recognized as the “Pearl of the Orient” since the city was a bustling French colony, charming land of legendary constructions, and vibrant with trading movements. Now, the capital is a tourist attraction and considered a must-go-to destination in Cambodia.

At Sisowath Quay, which is located in Phnom Penh’s downtown, we embark the Victoria Mekong Cruise. Cheers to the tour with a cold drink while the sun sets over the Tonle Sap lake, create a significant view. Coming up is the performance of the Khmer Apsara dance, one well - known traditional dance of the Khmer. The night is romantic on the luxury tour, and a buffet dinner served with hearty dishes. And that is what the first cruise-day passed. Have a good sleep on board anchors at Sisowath Quay.

Today, the cruise approaches the border of Cambodia-Vietnam and then sails toward downstream. While cruising, the service provides a Yoga session, held at the Infinity Pool or the Sky Deck. Enjoy your breakfast afterward in the local restaurant. The cruise offers a wide range of interesting services, including ship’s touring, cocktail competing, food carving demonstrating, mini-golf, and a beautiful pool to relax and contemplate the view slowly.

Lunch comes afterward. Then the cruise moors near Tan Chau to let the passengers disembark for the on-land tour. On a sampan, we will transfer to Taoist Temple, through household’s fish farms, stilt houses on the river and idyllic countryside. After a few hours of enjoyable cruise, we head back to the main boat to watch the traditional Vietnamese lion dance.

Dinner served next, and then, you can choose to join the entertaining activities available onboard. The ship keeps running to Vam Nao and stops for an overnight as it arrives.

Another fascinating day begins. Wake up early for the opportunities of enjoying the dreamy morning view of the countryside and have breakfast before the tour begins. The Cruise sails towards the provincial capital Long Xuyen – a small city surrounded by authentic rural life.

First, we pay a visit to the colorful Floating Market and then An Giang Museum to learn about the history and country of the region throughout centuries, including the culture of Vietnamese, Chinese, Khmer, and Cham as well as perceive the ancient civilization of Oc Eo.

Head back to the cruise for a sumptuous lunch while the cruise sails toward Tan Loc Island. This is the day-tour most interesting part. Here provides a really exciting sightseeing tour, especially the visit to a local “rose apple” distillery. Then, on the motocart, we will ride shortly to arrive in an age - old legend house that influenced Chinese, French, and Vietnamese architecture style.

Enjoy your hot tea served, and then travel back to the cruise. The ship then sails straight to Can Tho – Mekong Delta gem. Onboard, the traditional Southern Vietnamese folk music performance (locally called đờn ca tài tử) is impressive with distinctive melody. After that, we have our feast as dinner to celebrate for a fun trip. As the cruise reaches Can Tho, the boat stops for an overnight.

The grandeur breakfast is served in the Claypot restaurant. After enjoying the last breakfast of the tour, you either relax in the pool or contemplate views from your balcony. Then, we disembark the boat and accompany the guide to transfer on a big coach to Cai Be.

Lunch then offers delicate cuisine at Le Longanier Restaurant, which is located in the small fruit garden by the river. Proceed to the tour to Ho Chi Minh; the coach will arrive after 2 to 3 hours.
