Day 3 – Wednesday, November 8 – Oudong – Kampong Tralach – Phnom Penh

Later, our ship will depart for Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, where an afternoon orientation tour will give us a wonderful introduction to the city. Our tour includes a stop at Wat Phnom.

Day 4 – Thursday, November 9 – Phnom Penh
This morning we’ll take an excursion to Cambodia’s infamous Killing Fields and also visit the Khmer Rouge’s grim Tuol Sleng S21 detention center (Genocide Museum) just outside the city. After lunch on-board, our afternoon tour explores the highlights of the city, famous for its French colonial architecture, busy cafés and colorful nightlife. Visit the Royal Palace, the spectacular Silver Pagoda and the National Museum, which has an outstanding collection of Khmer crafts. An overnight on the waterfront provides an opportunity to dine on your own in one of many nearby restaurants, if you so choose. (B,L,D)
Day 5 – Friday, November 10 – Phnom Penh – Border Crossing – Tan Chau, Vietnam
Spend the day cruising the Mekong River and crossing the border into Vietnam. Our vessel moors midstream at the small town of Tan Chau, Vietnam. Tonight, we gather together with our Amazing Journeys community to celebrate Shabbat. (B,L,D)
Day 6 – Saturday, November 11 – Tan Chau – Sa Dec
This morning, we’ll visit Tan Chau, a small Mekong River town unspoiled by tourism. We will have the opportunity to take one of two tours this morning. Our first option to is take a traditional “xe-loi” (trishaw) ride around the town, with stops at a silk-making workshop and another that produces rattan mats and slippers. Alternatively, we will take a boat ride through the narrow channels of the Mekong River to several scenic locations, including a small village known as “Evergreen Island.” Return to Tan Chau, where we will visit workshops that make silk and rattan mats in the village. This afternoon, our ship cruises to Sa Dec, where it will moor overnight. (B,L,D)
Day 7 – Sunday, November 12 – Sa Dec – Xeo Quyt – Cia Be
In the morning, board a local boat for Sa Dec. Once ashore, we will tour the town where French writer Marguerite Duras spent many years in her youth. Visit a colorful local market, and the house of Mr. Huynh Thuy Le, Duras’ Chinese paramour. Afterwards, board a motor coach for Xeo Quyt, once used as a base during the French and U.S. wars and now an important ecological site. After lunch on board, a local boat will take us to Cai Be’s spectacular floating market. We will also have an opportunity to visit candy and rice paper workshops. This evening, we’ll gather together for our Amazing Journeys Farewell Event, followed by a festive Farewell Dinner on board. (B,L,D)
Day 8 – Monday, November 13 – Ho Chi Minh City – Disembarkation
Our cruise comes to an end as the ship docks at My Tho Port followed by a transfer to nearby Ho Chi Minh City, still affectionately referred to by locals as Saigon. This former capital of Indochina was once known as “Paris of the Orient.” Today, Vietnam’s largest city is an industrial, cultural and educational hub but still retains vestiges of its colonial past. For those flying home today, an airport transfer can be arranged. If you are joining us on our Vietnam post-cruise tour, we will continue our amazing journey together. (B)
