FAQs
Vietnam to Cambodia cruise has 2 directions:
- Upstream departing from Vietnam (Saigon to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh)
- Downstream departing from Cambodia (Siem Reap/Phnom Penh to Saigon)
Since both offer similar destinations and experiences onboard, the only difference is which start/ end points are most convenient for your international flight and your travel plan after the cruise.
Each country offers a different visa policy. For the cruise between Vietnam and Cambodia, we will separate into two distinct routes:
- Upstream: You can get Vietnam & Cambodia visas on arrival (VOA) with an approval letter for Vietnam and pay stamp fees at the airport or river border.
- Downstream: You can get a Cambodia visa on arrival when you arrive for a Vietnam visa (since you cannot get a VOA at the border, you need to make a visa before arriving). We could support you in getting an urgent visa at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia with fees of US $85 if you don't have a visa before arriving.
I hope this information will help you know how to do it or please contact our travel consultant if you need more help.
From budget to luxury options, here are some of the most recommended Vietnam - Cambodia river cruises with great service.
