FAQs
Vietnam to Cambodia cruise has 2 directions:
- Upstream departing from Vietnam (Saigon to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh)
- Downstream departing from Cambodia (Siem Reap/Phnom Penh to Saigon)
Since both offer similar destinations and experiences onboard, the only difference is which start/ end points are most convenient for your international flight and your travel plan after the cruise.
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.
