Your cruise begins when we meet you at the DOT Grill restaurant in Phnom Penh’s central riverside area at 9am, from where we’ll transfer you to our private dock and onto the Mekong Dawn boat. Onboard you will be met by our Cruise Manager with a welcome drink and checked into your cabins. Once onboard the ship sets sail for a gentle cruise down the river toward the old mountain capital of Udong. You will enjoy a delicious lunch on board as we sail down the historic Tonle Sap… From the new, ever developing, capital of Phnom Penh with its high rise buildings, to the historic capital of old.
Dock around 2:30pm in Koh Chen, where local craftsmen work with silver and other materials. You will be transferred to the nearby Udong mountain, where a brisk climb takes you to one of the finest views in the Kingdom. From 1618 to 1866 this served as Cambodia’s capital city and an array of interesting stupas, tombs and memorials remain. Enjoy a choice of sunset either atop the mountain or back at the boat. In the evening you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner onboard. We dock here in the peaceful vicinity of Koh Chen for the night.

Having allowed for the hottest time of the day to pass, we transfer to the local port in smaller boats for visits to the town’s famous pottery villages. The word ‘Chhnang’ literally means pottery in Khmer and local craftsmen travel and sell their wares throughout the Kingdom. We can visit the villages either with a gentle bike ride or by local ‘tuk tuks’, either way you will be able to take in the beautiful scenery of this province, with its flat landscape dotted with palm trees, mountain views and lush rice paddies.
