Frequently Asked Questions

The dry season from November to April is generally a popular time for a Mekong cruise, with less rainfall and comfortable conditions for sightseeing. The river landscape changes throughout the year, however, and some cruises operate outside this period. If you are planning to travel to Siem Reap by river, check the specific cruise dates and route, as water levels can affect navigation to Siem Reap via Tonle Sap Lake.

An upstream cruise generally travels from Ho Chi Minh City towards Cambodia, while a downstream cruise follows the river in the opposite direction. Both can include cultural visits and excursions along the Mekong, but the experience may be different by itinerary. Your choice can also depend on your international flights, overall travel plans, and where you would like to start or finish your journey.

Our Vietnam Cambodia Cruises range from 4 to 8 days, depending on the route and cruise ship. Shorter itineraries are available for travelers with limited time, while longer journeys can connect Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap, allowing more time for daily excursions and local experiences along the Mekong.

Inclusions vary by cruise and itinerary, but luxury Mekong cruises generally include accommodation in a comfortable river-view suite, daily meals on board, guided shore excursions, and selected activities. Some cruises also include drinks, cultural presentations, and other services. We recommend checking the individual cruise itinerary for the exact inclusions before booking.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and cruise itinerary. Travelers entering Cambodia by river who are eligible for a visa on arrival can usually complete the procedure at the relevant border checkpoint, with assistance from the cruise team. Travelers who need a visa to enter Vietnam generally need to arrange a Vietnam e-visa in advance. For cruises arranged through WaytoVietnam, the cruise team will provide guidance on the required documents and immigration procedures.

Shore excursions are an important part of the Mekong cruise experience, with opportunities to discover river towns, traditional villages, floating markets, floating villages, local communities, temples, and historic sites along the route from Vietnam to Cambodia. Depending on your itinerary, you may visit places such as Ben Tre, Can Tho, Sa Dec, Chau Doc, and other riverside communities, explore traditional crafts, or board a small rowing boat (sampan) to travel through narrow canals. In Cambodia, excursions may include visits to floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake, Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace and other historic landmarks, as well as tuk-tuk rides through local towns. Cruises continuing to Siem Reap can also include visits to the remarkable temples of Angkor.
