Days 1-2

Day 3
Angkor
Day 4
Tonlé Sap
Day 5
Kampong Cham
Kampong Cham is one of Cambodia’s largest provincial cities, but it still feels relaxed. Sitting on the Mekong’s eastern bank, it blends colonial remnants and modern Khmer culture. Cruise excursions often visit Wat Nokor, a striking 11th-century temple. Not far off is the French-era bamboo bridge (rebuilt seasonally, depending on the river level), which once connected the town to nearby Koh Pen island.The town itself has tree-lined boulevards and crumbling French buildings dating back to the time the city served as a trading hub. Markets sell tropical produce and snacks, while cafes spill onto pavements in the evening. Though not a major tourist destination, Kampong Cham serves as a gateway to the rural east and is often a final or first port on Mekong river cruises.
Day 6
Angkor
Days 7-8
Phnom Penh
Cambodia’s capital sits at the meeting point of the Mekong and Tonle Sap Rivers. Cruise ships dock close to the Royal Palace, making it easy to explore the heart of Phnom Penh on foot or by tuk-tuk. At its core is the palace complex, home to the Silver Pagoda and murals depicting Cambodian legends. Nearby, the National Museum houses some of the finest Khmer sculptures in the world, including pieces from Angkor Wat.Phnom Penh is a city still grappling with its past. Most cruise itineraries include visits to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields at Choeung Ek, sites that provide context on Cambodia’s recent history under the Khmer Rouge. Back in town, you'll discover riverside cafés, markets, rooftop bars and street food stalls.

A Rhine river cruise to the Christmas markets. Riviera take the strain out of travelling then you step aboard and drop all your cares. The ships are extremely comfortable and the service efficient but not intrusive. The cabins are basically hotel rooms that float! So nice to lie in bed and watch Germany pass by. The food was of a very high standard, well presented and the accompanying wines and drinks were fantastic.Riviera can always be trusted to organise excursions well and their tour managers are always prepared to go that extra mile to ensure your trip is perfect! Give them a try.

I'm partly disabled, but the crew was fantastic, and had help where I needed it, instantly. This was my third time with Rivera Travel and I've loved everyone, looking forward to next year's cruise with Rivera Travel on the Rhine to Switzerland. You just unpack your case the once, and your clothes and bedroom go with you to see many different places, it's lovely waking up to a new view from your room. so relaxing. The ship was lovely a clean, and the food was to die for, no disappointment at all. By the second day, the crew could remember your name, even what drinks you liked to drink, nothing was too much bother. Lovely friendly atmosphere, I'm so pleased I chose to travel with Rivera Travel, looking forward to next year. See you soon, Margaret

A fantastic cruise, great crew, wonderful inclusive shore trips. The only problem was a school minibus to take 14 of us from Lisbon airport to Porto, there was not enough space for the luggage, so we ended up with 8 cases in the aisle between the seats. Once we got to the vessel the welcome made up for the journey.
