More Details

Your luxury Cambodia travel itinerary first begins in Phnom Penh, the charming capital. Once known as “The Pearl of the Orient”, it boasts attractive French colonial buildings and wide frangipani-lined boulevards.

At the exquisite Raffles Hotel Le Royal you will find yourself transported to a mystical Khmer world of centuries past. Enjoy traditional Apsara dance performance welcome on your first night in Cambodia. Then explore the history of the region at the Royal Palace and National Museum, where thousands of Khmer treasures and artifacts are on display. Also meet a survivor of the cruel Khmer Rouge regime and scratch beneath the surface of this now peaceful country.

Next, board the multi-level Jayavarman cruise ship and set sail along the Mekong River for three days of tours, philanthropy, and relaxation.

On this best Mekong river cruise, split your time between the floating boutique-style hotel and the rural villages along the Mekong. Indeed, you will visit silk weavers and silversmiths, watch fishermen ply their trade at dawn, and practice English with Cambodian school children.

Finally, your luxury Cambodia travel arrangements conclude in Siem Reap, which serves as the gateway to the ancient capital of Angkor. We suggest staying at Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, located across from the Royal Palace and within the oldest building in Siem Reap. Indeed, the hotel sits just a short drive from the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat.

Tour the ancient temple complex by foot and bike, enjoying the splendor of the historic city. Indeed, Siem Reap has been revitalized to accommodate modern luxury Cambodia travel without losing its historic past. Impressive shopping and nightlife keeps travelers engaged.

On your final day in Cambodia, receive a farewell blessing from local monks and embark on a thrilling hot air balloon ride. From high above you’ll take in the lovely country one final time before heading home.
