Cambodia is a lovely country, and we had a dream come true by taking a cruise along the Mekong River. There was little information, and we had a difficult time selecting a cruise line. There were few options. My Uyen from Bestprice Travel booked this ship and land vacation in Cambodia for us. We have no reason to complain. Amazing beauty along the river; a wonderful trip, if modest.

First and foremost, we were alone on the trip, which was ideal. The boat was fantastic, and everyone was really kind. The guide is really fascinating. From beginning to end, everything was flawless. The only thing is that you need to know how many buses it will take to get to the boat.

I used Best Price Travel to plan a cruise from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. Janet was really helpful from start to finish. She swiftly addressed all of my queries and aggressively contacted me with cruise-related information. I'd absolutely use Best Price again.

VietnamHighlight of our trip to South East Asia
Cruising down the river to Phnom Penh was the highlight of our three months in SE Asia. The boat is beautiful; our cabin bed was comfortable; great shower water pressure; the deck seating was a great way to enjoy the beautiful views. What sent the trip over the top was the crew. Sam, our guide, is a gem. He is very knowledgable about Cambodian history, and our shore excursions with him took us into small villages where we met local artisans, wandered through a market learning about local veggies and fruits, climbed to the Oudong Temple - all of which were made more special because of the background we learned from Sam. The highlight was visiting a school and meeting the children. They got a chance to practice English and we got the pleasure of meeting them and learning about the challenges rural schools face in Cambodia. The crew has a special commitment to help the students be successful, and we were honored to be a small part of their support of the school. Sam made sure we were comfortable on board. He truly made the trip feel like we were his main priority. Amazing. Chef Sophean and her assistant Ms. Lin created spectacular meals. Without exaggeration, she prepared the best meals we had in Cambodia and Thailand. She uses fresh ingredients and created traditional dishes that furthered our understanding of Cambodian culture. It was clear, with each dish, that Chef Sophean cooks from her heart. Thank you!! Captain Try and Sailor Bros got us safely to each destination, on and off the boat. Thanks for the creative off ramps! We were in great hands. We were looking for a quiet, slow, educational and cultural trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. This cruise hit all of those goals and more. We would definitely book the Neang Neakii Cruise again.
