Cambodia is filled with memorable contrasts, from the grandeur of Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace to the tranquil charm of Koh Pen. Visit Angkor Ban, a rare village that preserves traditional stilted homes largely untouched by history’s upheavals.
Extend your journey with a land stay in Siem Reap, where you can watch sunrise over the iconic Angkor Wat and explore the atmospheric ruins of Ta Prohm, where ancient stone temples are entwined with jungle roots.
Sights along the Mekong River
Life along the Mekong is as fascinating as it is diverse. Take part in a traditional Buddhist blessing ceremony in Oudong, or learn about the craftsmanship behind silk weaving on Oknha Tey.
In Vietnam, visit a coconut candy workshop, glide through narrow canals by small boat in Tan Chau, and gain a deeper understanding of Cambodia’s history with visits to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh. Each experience offers insight into the region’s layered past and vibrant present.
