Angkor Wat is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Cambodia, known for its stunning temples and rich history. This architectural masterpiece was built in the early 12th century and remains one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Visitors to Angkor Wat can marvel at intricate carvings, towering spires, and peaceful courtyards that offer a glimpse into the ancient Khmer civilization.

Visiting Angkor Wat as Part of a Mekong River Cruise

Angkor Wat Mekong River Cruise

Embarking on a Mekong River cruise that includes a stop at Angkor Wat allows travellers to experience the best of both worlds – the tranquillity of river travel and the grandeur of temple exploration.

All of our trusted river cruise partners offer excursions to Angkor Wat as part of their itinerary, giving passengers the opportunity to explore the temples both independently and with knowledgeable guides.

The best time to visit Angkor Wat and embark on a Mekong River cruise is during the dry season, which typically falls between November and March. During this time, the weather is cool and pleasant, making it ideal for outdoor activities and temple exploration. Additionally, the low water levels in the river allow for smoother navigation and better wildlife spotting opportunities.

About Christine Foulds

I’m originally from Germany and traveling has always been a part of my family’s DNA. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived and worked in 5 different countries (USA, Austria, Russia, Peru and the UK) and learnt to speak 3 foreign languages (Russian and Spanish are getting a bit rusty though). I thoroughly enjoy working with travel enthusiasts who like to explore and visit new parts of the world as much as I do.
