LOCATION
Aqua Mekong cruises along the Mekong River, providing a unique perspective on Cambodia's stunning landscapes and cultural heritage. The journey includes stops at key locations such as Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, allowing guests to explore historic temples, bustling markets, and traditional villages. The river cruise offers an immersive way to experience the natural beauty and rich history of the region.

GETTING THERE (from United Kingdom)
To reach Aqua Mekong from the United Kingdom, fly to Phnom Penh International Airport or Siem Reap International Airport with a layover, typically in a major hub like Bangkok or Singapore. From the airport, a short transfer will take you to the embarkation point for the river cruise. The journey usually involves one or two flights and a brief local transfer, ensuring a smooth travel experience.

WHEN TO GO
The best time to embark on an Aqua Mekong cruise is during the dry season, from November to April. During this period, the weather is more predictable, with less rain and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The river levels are also optimal, ensuring smooth navigation and access to various attractions along the Mekong River.
