Dreaming of a romantic cruise on the waters of the Mékong and Tonlé Sap ? Embark on The Jahan, considered the sister ship to the Jayavarman, for an original and delightfully rhythmic discovery of Cambodge. From Siem Reap, or even Phnom Penh, you'll be welcomed by members of an exceptional staff, dressed elegantly in traditional hotel attire, who will set the tone for this opulent cruise.

Varied Itineraries

You have the opportunity to choose from numerous cruises aboard The Jahan, whether you wish to explore the Tonlé Sap, the Mékong, or even navigate both of these legendary Southeast Asian rivers. You can select journeys ranging from 4 to 8 days, departing from the city of your choice: Siem Reap or Phnom Penh.

A Rich Discovery of Cambodge

Depending on the itinerary you choose, you'll find yourself on the Mékong, the Tonlé Sap, or both. The Jahan's navigators have planned for you an array of activities led by a guide with deep knowledge of the history of every location where you'll dock. Here's a non-exhaustive list.

Nokor Bachey

Following the currents of the Mékong, you'll arrive, after Phnom Penh, in one of Cambodge's most ancient cities, particularly charming, called Kampong Cham. Here you'll discover the cultural, historical, and religious site of Nokor Bachey, located just a few kilometers north of the city center. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, a member of the Trimurti.

The Bamboo Bridge

Back in Kampong Cham's city center, you'll have the chance to cross the remarkable bamboo bridge that connects the city to the island of Koh Paen, which you've surely spotted from the Mékong. This unique architectural design is destroyed every year in May, as monsoons approach, then rebuilt in January. You'll cross it and discover the pagoda on Koh Paen island.

Phnom Hanchey

You'll then stop about twenty kilometers north of Kampong Cham, still on the Mékong, in the village of Phnom Hanchey. You'll climb steps and reach the summit of a hill where stands the village's great pagoda, where gibbons play with travelers. Perched high above, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the river. Your guide will share more about Buddhism and its practice in Cambodge. You may even witness a blessing by monks.

The Pottery Villages of Kampong Chhnang

On the waters of the Tonlé Sap now, the river that connects, from its source, Siem Reap or Battambang, to Phnom Penh, you'll stop, heading toward the capital, at Kampong Chhnang. Here you'll head toward Andong Russey, a village famous for its pottery artisans. A craft passed down through generations for centuries. It's time to stock up on souvenirs !

The Floating Villages of Tonlé Sap

Undoubtedly one of the most enriching experiences of a journey to Cambodge. Though you must be there when water submerges the towering stilts of the floating villages' homes. The Jahan offers you the chance to visit and meet the local populations to share in their daily life.

Inside The Jahan

All these activities will naturally be punctuated by splendid hours of navigation on Cambodia's rivers. A relaxing experience full of emotions and memories. Your cruise will take place aboard The Jahan, equipped with spacious suites featuring a double bed, a sofa, a large window to admire the river, and a bathroom. Also enjoy the swimming pool on deck and a restaurant serving complimentary breakfast in the morning and traditional Khmer meals at lunch and dinner that you're sure to love!
