FAQs

Each country offers a different visa policy. For the cruise between Vietnam and Cambodia, we will separate into two distinct routes:

  • Upstream: You can get Vietnam & Cambodia visas on arrival (VOA) with an approval letter for Vietnam and pay stamp fees at the airport or river border.
  • Downstream: You can get a Cambodia visa on arrival when you arrive for a Vietnam visa (since you cannot get a VOA at the border, you need to make a visa before arriving). We could support you in getting an urgent visa at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia with fees of US $85 if you don't have a visa before arriving.

I hope this information will help you know how to do it or please contact our travel consultant if you need more help.

A Vietnam - Cambodia cruise usually costs from US $675 to $2,311 per pax for entry-level (transfer fee is excluded). The price can vary depending on the service quality and cruise length:

  • 3 - 4 days: From US $675 - $960/pax.
  • 5 - 6 days: From US $1,092 - $1,600/pax.
  • 7 - 9 days: From US $1,702 - $2,311 per pax.

The shortest cruises from Saigon/Can Tho (Vietnam) to Phnom Penh (Cambodia) typically take between 3 to 4 days, depending on the itinerary. 

If you are already at the border between two countries, you will need around 4-5 hours on a high-speed boat. However, a full Vietnam Cambodia cruise lasting several days offers stops for sightseeing and cultural experiences, which are much more valuable.

The best months for a Mekong River cruise are from November to April. During this time, the weather is cooler and drier, with lower humidity, and less rainfall, offering more comfortable cruising conditions and better visibility for sightseeing. This season is also less likely to experience flooding, which can affect some travel routes.

Most of the boat in Mekong does not offer facilities for disable person but the staff can support during the trip. Just for excursion you could not join due to it has to move a lot also transfer by small boat.

Hello, we are a '60s couple looking to make a reservation for a Mekong Cruise in late April 2024. We would appreciate your suggestions for cruises that offer limited hiking or adventurous activities during the trip. We prefer a more relaxed experience. Thank you for your assistance.
