Service & Activities
With Toum Tiou I Cruise for 8 days, you may go on a voyage across the mysterious and enormous Mekong River. Operating between Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Siem Reap, Cambodia, travelers can explore a combination of the historical Cambodia and the fascinating Mekong Delta.
Moreover, Toum Tiou’s low draft allows it access to the remotest of villages, offering real insights into lively local life along the river banks, which remain almost untouched by the modern world.
Explore My Tho
The ship anchors near Thoi Son Island, just outside My Tho, an attractive riverside city known for its lush fruit orchards, rice fields, and peaceful Mekong Delta scenery. Guests will discover a region filled with coconut palms, banana and mango trees, offering a truly green and tranquil landscape. The visit also includes the chance to explore the beautiful Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the area’s most iconic landmarks.
Discover Vinh Long
In Vinh Long, guests will explore the vibrant traditional craft villages, where locals continue to produce rice paper, rice wine, and popped rice using time-honored methods passed down through generations. The journey continues with a visit to a brick and pottery workshop, followed by Binh Hoa Phuoc Islet, known for its lush fruit tree nurseries, charming local homes, and a small exhibition showcasing traditional farming tools.

Visit Chau Doc
We arrive in Chau Doc, where local boats take guests to explore floating fish farms and visit a traditional Cham village, home to an ethnic community with cultural ties to both Vietnam and Cambodia. If time permits, enjoy a breathtaking sunset from Sam Mountain, where Buddhist sanctuaries sit above sweeping views of shimmering rice fields stretching across the horizon.
Join a Phnom Penh city tour
Guests will enjoy a full-day city tour beginning with the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and National Museum, showcasing Cambodia’s rich royal heritage and cultural treasures. The journey continues with a visit to the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum and the bustling Russian Market, offering deeper insight into the country’s history and daily life.
Have a Kamponh Tralach excursion
We continue to Kampong Tralach, where guests will visit the spectacular Wat Kampong Tralach Leu Pagoda, beautifully set in a peaceful rural landscape and accessible via a scenic ride through the countryside. Let's explore this serene Buddhist site and learn about its cultural significance.
Take a trip to Kampong Chhnang
Kampong Chhnang is one of the largest fishing ports on the Tonlé Sap, known for its vibrant river life, bustling fish farms, and traditional pottery craft villages. The region is also renowned for products derived from the Thnot palm tree, including its naturally sweet, caramel-colored palm sugar sold in large cakes, as well as locally brewed palm wine.
Food & Drink
On board the Toum Tiou Cruise, dining is a warm and convivial experience led by a local executive chef and an experienced culinary team. Guests are served family-style meals featuring a blend of authentic Cambodian and Vietnamese cuisine, complemented by freshly baked breads and homemade baked goods. Specially tailored light menus are also available upon request to suit different dietary preferences.
Throughout the journey, guests can enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and drinking water, while a selection of premium wines and fine liquors is available from the extensive onboard wine list (at an extra fee). The ship also features a sundeck bar and a 24-hour hospitality bar, offering a relaxed setting to unwind with refreshing drinks at any time of day.
The culinary experience is enhanced by thoughtful onboard touches, including a welcome drink, a welcome cocktail, farewell reception, and a special Captain’s Dinner.

We loved the slow pace along the river, stopping at local villages, markets, and temples that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Overall, a great way to experience the Mekong without the crowds. Less

The boat is smaller and more traditional, which gave the whole experience a cozy, authentic vibe. We loved stopping at local villages, temples, and markets. It felt like we were really getting to know the culture, not just passing through. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the meals onboard were fresh, tasty, and full of local flavor.
Thank you, Cindy, for arranging everything. Less
