Default Morning Excursion (any ship): We are in the midst of the vast Tonle region, one of Cambodia’s amazing ecosystems. We will discover Kampong Laeang this morning, situated just across from the famous pottery town of Kampong Chhnang. Once ashore, we embark on tuk-tuks to travel the heart of rural Cambodian life.

OPTIONAL MORNING EXCURSION:

Culinary (Ship 'Jayavarman' only): The culinary-themed excursion aboard Heritage Line Jayavarman adds a nice and enchanting local encounter to prepare together quite a famous snack—the “Nom Krok.” “Nom” is a kind of cake made from white or brown rice. Originally cooked only on one side, the Khmer invented Nom Krok by cooking it on both sides, forming a ball shape. Nom Krok is also a spiritual dish offered to ghosts during some festivals as food. But above all, it is a very tasty pre-dinner snack often consumed by locals.

Cycling (Ship 'The Jahan' only, extra cost): Upon disembarking, we hop on our bikes to embark on our local Khmer discovery. Our journey leads us through rice paddy fields and quaint villages where small businesses produce pottery or palm sugar. With flat terrain and mesmerizing rural landscapes, the pedal is easy-going, offering a captivating glimpse into local life unfolding before our eyes.
