Mekong Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Music
Full description
This is a 2-hour experience in Phnom Penh. It is run by Cambo Cruise, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Phnom Penh sits where the Mekong, the Tonle Sap and the Bassac meet, and the riverfront promenade along Sisowath Quay is where the city walks in the evening. Koh Dach, the silk island, is a short ferry upstream and still has weavers working handlooms under their houses, selling direct. Oudong, 40 kilometres north-west, was the royal capital for more than 250 years until 1866 and its hilltop stupas hold the ashes of kings. The Central Market's art deco dome opened in 1937 and the Russian Market, properly Psar Toul Tom Poung, is the one for silver, silk and knock-offs.
The price covers Hotel pickup, Cruise on the Mekong, Live traditional Khmer music, Welcome sunset cocktail and All-you-can-eat dinner. It does not cover Additional food and drinks, Hotel drop-off and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
Amazing Wounderful experience with my girl friend.
Wonderful, the staff were attentive, friendly and looked after us throughout the cruise. The local musicians were excellent, as was the food and a lovely welcome drink.
We had the best time! The staff were SO lovely, and the live music was really beautiful! They played traditional Khmer music, and then they put on some Western music before they played live local music again. The scenery is spectacular, the sky was amazing and they gave us a free welcome drink, some peanuts and some fruit! For the price that you pay, it’s unbeatable! P.S. if you do order a drink get ready because they are really loaded haha this was the only downside
Very pleasant relaxing 2-hour long activity! Crew was awesome, even though we were the only people on the boat (it was a weekday) they didn’t cancel , were friendly and courteous and the musician was performing just for us. The boat is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
The boat tour staff were very considerate and charming - they offered to assist me when boarding and getting off the boat, served me a complimentary Sunset Cocktail and gave friendly helpful service. The boat was spotlessly clean. Western music favourites were played out on the water, but on the return to shore musicians played Cambodian folk music on traditional instruments - it was a cool and lovely way to end the day as Phnom Penh lit up for the evening.
We enjoyed this so much! The boat was very modern and polished, nice welcome drink too. The band played live music and were very fun. Great way to see the sunset over Phnom Penh, and very calm to be out on the water away from the hustle of the city. Would definitely recommend
It was brilliant, the staff were great and came to chat to us about our time in cambodia and recommended which places to visit. Overall a great experience.
We agreed to move to the 5pm cruise as no one else had booked the 7pm and it did mean we saw a lovely as well. The choice of food was excellent and plentiful. The musicians were enthusiastic and fun. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Do book this trip as they need all our support🙂
Sareth and Lucky we're the highlight of my excursion. I appreciate the talks and vibes
Great service! We enjoyed the food and talking to the kind and helpful servers. The view was nice and the drinks were good!
A great experience from start to end We got information about the pickup from our hotel well before the pickup time and our driver was there ahead of schedule The boat trip was a lovely way to spend the evening - the crew are all fun, friendly and super helpful , the music really made for a great atmosphere and the food was delicious - I particularly liked the fish
Perfect Thank you so much! A fantastic time with people playing Khmer music – it was absolutely amazing! I recommend it 2000%! The people were so friendly 🙏🇰🇭 I chose the 5-7 pm slot, which was perfect because I got to see the sunset and Phnom Penh at night. I had a slight hiccup getting to the meeting point, but the organizer kindly found a solution for me.
