Pandaw unveils new Cambodia calls on Mekong cruises
Asian river cruise operator Pandaw has introduced two new exclusive stops in Cambodia which will be offered on all Mekong expeditions from September 2024.
These are both unique to Pandaw.
They will not only provide more authentic experiences for guests but benefit these communities by dispersing cruise guests to new places not called at by other vessels.
Pandaw has worked closely with local communities and its on-the-ground teams to come up with new experiences
The two new offerings are:
Pak Russei: Located close to Phnom Penh, Pak Russei is a quaint village hosting local artisans that produce silks and foodstuffs such as noodles which are sold in the markets of Phnom Penh. This excursion replaces Silk Island or Koh Oknha Tei where most tourist vessels stop to visit the silk production demonstrations set up to cater for foreign guests. Pandaw maintains the silk-making explanations and opportunity to buy authentic locally made silk products in this new village, as well as offering a private demonstration of the Khmer martial art of Bokator.
Peam Chi Korng: A small village known for its pottery industry, Peam Chi Korng is a new addition along the Mekong north of Phnom Penh. This replaces the excursion in Angkor Ban which was once a small rural village where the Pandaw library was built to support the Angkor Ban secondary school. It has now become a frequent stop for many of the larger tourist vessels.
These new visits are available on four of Pandaw’s Mekong itineraries – the seven-night Classic Mekong, the 10-night Deeper & Further on the Mekong River, the three- and four-night Phnom Penh & Siem Reap and the 21-night The Full Mekong, Four Country Combo Cruise.
