Call usJayavarman Cruise, Cambodia
Overview
With ornate woodwork, burnished brass, and silk-draped lounges, Jayavarman evokes the romance of early 20th-century Indochina. Inspired by King Jayavarman VII and built in French-colonial style, the ship floats slowly between Cambodia’s rural heartlands and bustling Phnom Penh, creating a strong sense of place on every deck.
Life aboard is relaxed and immersive. You might spend the morning kayaking past lotus ponds, or cycling to local monasteries where saffron-robed monks offer blessings. Cultural immersion continues onboard, where nightly performances bring Cambodia’s classical dance heritage to life, and chefs prepare fragrant local dishes such as amok curry and grilled river fish with tamarind glaze.
Spacious staterooms open to private balconies where village life unfolds in quiet vignettes – children swimming, women washing silks, monks paddling by in carved canoes. With its warm staff, thoughtful programming, and atmosphere of understated elegance, Jayavarman is less about luxury and more about meaning, connection, and rediscovery.
