Most cruises start in Saigon, explore the charming Mekong Delta, and end in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. The most usual cruise stops are Cai Be, Can Tho, Sa Dec, and Chau Doc.

After disembarking, you can take a separate Phnom Penh city tour (not included in the cruise) to the Royal Palace, Silver Palace, and National Museum,...

Cruises between Saigon and Phnom Penh usually last from 3 to 5 days, depending on the itinerary and stops along the way.
