Toum Tiou Cruise Mekong River
Location: Saigon, Phnom Penh, Siem ReapBuilt in the traditional style, the Toum Tiou was christened in 2002 on the river at Phnom Penh, the first Cambodian cruise boat with international standard accommodation. Fully-paneled in wood, with charm and comfort in mind, we designed it in keeping with the local style. Modestly sized and with the safety of a steel hull, its low draught makes it possible for the boat to access the smallest of villages. With the tasteful decoration of a bygone era, it has 10 cozy double cabins with private shower, a large lounge area, a panoramic viewing space to the front, a half-covered bar-restaurant to the rear and a roof patio. Air conditioning, hi-fi system and library are provided.
Overview
The only true cruising vessel that can sail from Siem Reap to Saigon in comfort and safety.
Toum Tiou’s steel hull and sleek, low draft make it the only true river vessel that sails the Mekong. Toum Tiou and its sister ship, Toum Tiou II, are the only ships that can sail from the Siem Reap pier into Saigon’s harbour. On other cruise vessels, passengers have to disembark mid-river and continue on land.
The Toum Tiou II, like its sister vessel, Toum Tiou I, differs from other Mekong river boats as it is able to offer a true cruising experience between Siem Reap and Saigon. Not only can passengers sail the entire way on the river, but they also sail in close proximity to the shoreline, allowing them unobstructed views of the wonderfully rustic existence of the local people. Other vessels are much larger and not designed for intimate navigation.
The Toum Tiou II offers an unmatched cruising experience of the Mekong with spectacular views of its fauna and flora and opportunities to observe day-to-day life of the people of Cambodia and Vietnam in close proximity. Larger than its sister vessel, Toum Tiou II offers even greater comfort with additional in-cabin facilities, including a private lounge area, air-conditioning, hi-fi system, an en-suite bathroom with hot/cold shower and complimentary tea & coffee. The 14 period-style cabins are fitted to the highest specifications with fine wood finishes.
