Siem Reap & Mekong Cruise

One of Asia’s great rivers, the Mekong is home to millions of people in the busy towns and markets set on its banks. See green fields and sleepy villages intertwined by canals and rivulets, and self-sustaining river life. Watch longtail boats darting up and down the river, as well as dodgy smaller wooden ones used by floating market vendors. Siem Reap, meaning ‘Defeat of Siam’, is the capital city of the Siem Reap Province in NW Cambodia. It is a resort town, a gateway and the life-support system for the temple complex of Angkor – Cambodia’s 8th wonder of the world. View shady tree-lined boulevards with colonial old French shop-houses and a slow flowing river; see Chinese-style architecture in the Old French Quarter and around the Old Market.
