Delve deeper into Indochina’s captivating landscapes on a 4-night Mekong Explorer Cruise, concentrating solely on Cambodia’s timeless pastoral serenity or traveling back in time as you sail upriver from Ho Chi Minh and the thriving Mekong Delta past floating villages, colonial vestiges and gilded pagodas to the Art Deco landmarks of Phnom Penh.​

Stay: Aqua Mekong Cruise (4 nights)​

Phnom Penh

The glimmering spires of the Royal Palace, the fluttering saffron of the monks' robes and the luscious location on the banks of the mighty Mekong. Cambodia's capital can be an assault on the senses. Motorbikes whiz through laneways without a thought for pedestrians; markets exude pungent scents; and all the while the sounds of life – of commerce, of survival – reverberate through the streets. But this is all part of the attraction.​

Phnom Penh to Siem Reap

Flight Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

For those seeking ancient culture and history, Cambodia's World Heritage Site of Angkor, near to the city of Siem Reap, is well worth the pilgrimage. Built between the 9th and 13th centuries by the Khmer kings, the ancient city is home to the spectacular temple complex of Angkor Wat, where, despite being over eleven centuries old, over 100 temples remain. This vast archaeological park and sprawling monument to the golden age of Khmer civilization is best viewed at sunrise or sunset – the more adventurous can experience a birds-eye view by hot air balloon. But often side-stepped, Siem Reap is worthy of much attention in itself, with its lovely riverside location, a burgeoning cultural scene, and one of the region's buzziest dining and drinking scenes.
