FAQs
1. Which direction is best for Mekong Cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia?
Mekong Cruises from Vietnam to Cambodia offer 2 different directions: upstream (from Vietnam) or downstream (from Cambodia). Some people prefer downstream cruises because of flight to Siem Reap is easier to find and book. So it depends on your plan and available tickets you can choose any direction because they offer similar experiences and visiting places.
2. How do I arrange visa for cruise between Vietnam & Cambodia on Mekong River?
Each country offers a different visa policy, for the cruise between Vietnam and Cambodia, we will separate to two different routes:
- Upstream: You can get both Vietnam & Cambodia visas on arrival 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 could not get a visa on arrival at the border, so you need to make a visa before arriving). We could support you to do an urgent visa at Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia with fees of 85 USD if you don't have a visa before arriving.
I hope this information will help you to know how to do it or please contact our travel consultant if you need more help.
