When the sun sets over Phnom Penh, the city takes on a whole new life—glittering lights reflect off the Tonlé Sap and Mekong rivers, temples glow in the distance, and the riverfront buzzes with energy. One of the most memorable ways to enjoy this beauty is by taking a night boat cruise along the river.
A Unique Experience on the Water
A night boat cruise offers a peaceful escape from the city streets and a unique perspective of Phnom Penh. As the boat glides along the water, you'll pass iconic landmarks such as the Royal Palace, Wat Ounalom, and the vibrant Sisowath Quay. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group, this gentle ride provides the perfect backdrop for relaxing and taking in the sights.
