What to Expect

A tuk-tuk collects you from your hotel and takes you to the pier. You board the cruise boat as the sun starts to drop. The BBQ buffet is set up on deck with meat, seafood, and sides. Beer and soft drinks flow throughout. The boat cruises past the Royal Palace, the riverfront, and the point where the Tonle Sap meets the Mekong. The skyline glows as the sun sets. Staff are attentive. The whole thing wraps in 90 minutes.

Who It's For

Everyone. At USD 8 with unlimited beer, food, and transport, this is a no-brainer for any visitor to Phnom Penh. Solo travellers, couples, groups. The social atmosphere on the boat makes it easy to meet people. Start your evening here before heading to the bars.

Tips

• Book the 5pm departure for the best sunset light.
• The BBQ is basic but filling. Do not expect fine dining.
• Tipping the crew is appreciated. They work hard for the price.

Verdict
