Sunset looks better from the Mekong. This 90-minute Phnom Penh cruise gives you a calm evening on the water, with views of the Royal Palace, riverside homes, fishing boats, and the city skyline glowing after dark. I especially like the generous drink packages and the chance to see Phnom Penh from a quieter angle.

I also like the easy hotel pickup by tuk-tuk within 4 km of the dock, usually between 4:15 and 4:30pm. The main thing to consider is that this is more of a relaxed social boat ride than a guided sightseeing tour. Commentary can be limited, and the boat and dock may feel a little rough around the edges.
