Discover Indochina along the Mekong river.
Discover Indochina along the Mekong river. The Toum Tiou II, like its sister vessel Toum Tiou, 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 journey on the river but they also sail in close proximity to the river line; allowing them an unobstructed view of the delightfully rustic existence of the people in the vicinity. The other vessels are huge and not custom built for intimate navigation.
The Toum Tiou II offers an unmatched cruising experience of the Mekong with spectacular views of the Mekong’s fauna and flora and diverse day-to-day life of the people and cultures of Cambodia and Vietnam 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, and on-suite bathroom with hot / cold private shower and complimentary tea and coffee. The 14 cozy cabins are fitted to the highest specifications with noble wood finishes in an elegant colonial style.
The Toum Tiou II is all revved up, spruced up, and ready for you at the Phnom Penh Port.
Enjoy a magnificent lunch as the ship cruises to Kôh Chen (Chinese Island). We arrive at Kôh Chen, a small village of whose inhabitants specialize in silver and copper smiting. They produce ornamental items, including delicately engraved tropical fruit which are used in traditional ceremonies or at weddings. You will be able to catch a glimpse of the distant hills of Cambodia’s ancient capital – Oudong – and its royal stupas when you are a few kilometers away from the ferry.
Passengers return to the Toum Tiou II. We depart Kôh Chen for Kampong Tralach. Toum Tiou II drops anchor close to village.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast as we depart for Kampong Tralach to visit its wonderful Vihara.
To reach this magnificent edifice, we cross Kampong Tralach Krom village along a small road perpendicular to the river, walk along some gorgeous stretches of emerald rice paddy as we leave the river behind. Passengers return to the Toum Tiou II. A delicious lunch awaits you as you cruise to Kampong Chnang.
We arrive at Kampong Chnang. Located some 56 miles from Phnom Penh, the town of Kampong Chnang is one of the largest fishing ports on the Tonlé Sap. Kampong Chhang is famous for fish farming and pottery ware.
And not to be overlooked are the products of the Thnot tree – a mellow tasting, caramel-colored sugar sold in large cakes and palm wine – that grows abundantly in the area. We return to Toum Tiou II. We cruise gently towards the Tonle Sap Lake. Toum Tiou II drops anchor overnight at the entrance of the Grand Lake Tonle Sap. A mouth-watering dinner is served and the cruise ship moors overnight.
Breakfast is served as we cruise to Siem Reap, home to the magnificent Angkor Wat.
