Cruising the Mekong and Angkor Wat

Fly to Siem Reap, Cambodia’s hip epicenter, filled with an array of boutiques, multicultural dining, museums and spas. It also serves as gateway to the magnificent temples of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enter the monumental gates of Angkor Thom and visit the Bayon Temple, with its huge stone faces wearing enchanting smiles.

Rise early to watch the sun rise serenely over mystical Angkor Wat before exploring the vast temple complex with a local expert. After some afternoon free time, explore Ta Prohm, where the roots of great trees have spilled over the roof of this iconic stone temple. After dinner, gather for an AKP Impact Hour, welcoming a local speaker who discusses various projects in Cambodia supported by A&K Philanthropy.

Drive through the scenic countryside to Kampong Cham to board A&K’s private charter of all-suite Mekong Princess, your home for the next seven nights. Tonight, enjoy a Khmer-inspired dinner on board.

Explore the charming town of Angkor Ban, where you visit a family home. Stroll through a small market frequented by locals and stop briefly at a monastery. Then cruise to Phnom Penh, where you ride through Cambodia’s capital city by cyclo. Discover the ornate Royal Palace, and wander past huge stupas (shrines) en route to the Silver Pagoda, home of two Buddha statues of great beauty.

Cruise right into the heart of lively, evocative Ho Chi Minh City for an afternoon of exploring the city at your own pace. You may opt to join your Resident Tour Director for a visit to the War Remnants Museum, where photos and other items document the Vietnam War. This evening, gather for a special farewell dinner.

After breakfast, take your private transfer to the airport for your departing flight.
