Experience Cambodia as it was meant to be seen — entirely by river — on this unforgettable long-distance boat journey between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Your adventure begins aboard a comfortable express boat, cruising north from Phnom Penh along the Tonlé Sap River and lake system. As the city fades away, the landscape opens up into a living panorama of Cambodia’s waterways: floating villages, stilted homes, fishermen casting their nets, children waving from the riverbanks, and everyday life unfolding along the water’s edge.
Passing through regions rarely seen by road travellers, the journey offers a unique and authentic perspective of rural Cambodia. You’ll glide past rice fields, remote river communities, and wide open stretches of water where the horizon seems endless. This is a express boat travel at its best — relaxed, scenic, and deeply immersive.
Approaching the Tonlé Sap Lake, the scenery changes once more, revealing one of Southeast Asia’s most remarkable ecosystems. The journey concludes in Siem Reap by river, offering a memorable and peaceful arrival that contrasts beautifully with the usual road transfer.
For travellers starting in Siem Reap, the experience runs in reverse — a morning departure by boat, crossing the Tonlé Sap Lake and rivers before arriving in Phnom Penh by water.
This boat-only journey is perfect for travellers who want more than just transport — it’s an experience in itself, combining comfort, scenery, culture, and a true sense of adventure on Cambodia’s historic waterways.
