Day 1: Tuesday/ Phnom Penh - Cambodia
Welcome our passengers over custom sundowners like the Salted Watermelon Crush with Thai basil. Together we celebrate the onward journey towards the heart of this mighty river with a Khmer Apsara performance, an indigenous tradition memorialized on the temple walls at Angkor Wat.

Day 2: Wednesday/ Tonle Sap River – Kon Chen – KamPong Chhnang - Cambodia
This morning, we visit Koh Chen, a silversmith village known for its fine craftsmanship. Keep an eye out for their famous silver bowls, regularly chosen by Cambodia's king as gifts for visiting dignitaries. In the afternoon, we continue learning about Khmer riverside life in Kampong Chhnang, the 'Port of Pottery' so called because archaeological findings here date to the 6th century. Bike option is available.

Day 3: Thursday/ Mouth of the Tonle Sap lake – Chhnok Tru – Moat Khla - Cambodia
Continue exploring the remote communities around the Tonle Sap Lake, designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1997. In Chhnok Tru, we “slide” into an ice factory and learn from locals what it’s like to live in a town where schools, churches, pagodas, and even the karaoke bar and police station all float. After lunch, we visit the floating village of Moat Khla, accessible only by water, and attend a Buddhist blessing ceremony in this isolated community.

Day 4: Friday / Tonle Sap Lake – Prek Toal – Siem Reap
Set off by skiff into the 22,000-hectare Prek Toal Core Bird Reserve, one of the largest freshwater bodies in Asia and the last refuge in Southeast Asia for large waterbirds like the spot-billed pelicans, milky stork, black-headed ibis and the elusive masked finfoot. Disembarkation.

Booking Policies for Independent Travelers
One defining advantage of Aqua Expeditions luxury cruise ships is the small capacity compared with other river cruises or a river lodge. Thus we recommend our guests book early, especially if your desired travel dates are not flexible. People typically book their Aqua Expeditions Cruise at least 10 to 18 months in advance, however we will always do our best to accommodate your desired cruise dates.
When you book your 3,4 or 7 night Aqua Expeditions River cruise, you will receive an email confirmation 90 days prior to the start date for your cruise. Your travel confirmation and Aqua Expeditions cruise ticket will be sent to you following your final payment. We ask that you read these terms and conditions prior to arrival.
