Update on River Cruising Options

Update on River Cruising Options
New 5 day program; Toum Teav stops early due to low water
Two new developments in cruising options between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap:
New 5-day Itinerary aboard Mekong Pandaw
As an alternative routing, we are offering a new Treasures of the Mekong 5 day cruise from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Aboard the Mekong Pandaw (or similar) the cruise first heads up the Tonle River for 2 nights before doubling back toward Phnom Penh and turning up the Mekong River to Kampong Cham for 2 nights. From Kampong Cham, the last day involves a drive to Siem Reap. During the low water season (February to June) some sections of the cruise may need to be done by land but all efforts will be made to ensure maximum cruise time.

Toum Teav cuts season short
The extremely low water levels during this ongoing dry season impact on boat travel on Tonlé Sap Lake and Mekong. Toum Tiou and Toum Tiou II have to cut their 2009-2010 season short in order to prevent unnecessary overland transfers. The last trip of Toum Teav I will run from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh from 5-7 April 2010, while Toum Teav II will run from Saigon to Siem Reap from 4-11 April 2010. The new season 2010-2011 will start in July 2010 for both the Toum Tiou and Toum Tiou II boats.

In Siem Reap, Hotel de la Paix has created a new dining option in the Cambodian countryside. Guests will enjoy a romantic dinner of Khmer barbequed specialities in a traditional gazebo while a team of chefs and waiters is at-hand to provide personalized service. Priced at USD 300 for two, the package includes a tuk tuk transfer (return by private car), a Khmer barbeque dinner, champagne on arrival and a bottle of wine from the hotel’s wine list. This unique dinner experience can be included as an option in Exotissimo’s
