Siem Reap river cruises tie up in the heart of the Cambodian capital, the city of sharp contrasts at the centre of any Mekong River. The gilded spires of the Royal Palace and the treasure-filled Silver Pagoda sit only a short ride from the Tuol Sleng museum and the Killing Fields, places that hold the hardest chapters of the country’s recent past.
Siem Reap asks you to hold both at once, and it is the richer for it. Stroll the riverfront promenade of Sisowath Quay at dusk, browse the art-deco hulk of the Central Market, and you start to feel the energy of a city that has rebuilt itself. It is the beating heart of any Cambodian river journey.
Your dedicated Crui.se concierge takes care of the price, the flights, the transfers and the hotels, so the only thing you plan is what to pack.
Siem Reap river cruises link the Mekong River to the greatest sight in Southeast Asia, and for many travellers this is the leg that draws them to the region in the first place. It is the gateway to Angkor, the vast temple city of the Khmer Empire, where Angkor Wat itself turns gold at sunrise above its reflecting pools.
There is far more than the headline temple. You can lose a day among the giant carved faces of the Bayon, watch the jungle slowly reclaim the tumbled stones of Ta Prohm, and end it back in town over a cold drink on buzzing Pub Street. Siem Reap is the spiritual and cultural high point that bookends the whole trip.
We handle the booking from end to end. Your UK-based Crui.se concierge secures the lowest price and sorts every flight, transfer and hotel.
