Built in Cambodia from tropical woods and according to tranditional techniques, the Toum Tiou (sometimes spelled Toum Teav) was the first cruise boat to sail on the Mekong from Siem Reap to Saigon, Cambodia to Vietnam, offering a high standard of accommodation, mixing charm and tradition.

The on board restaurant is semi-open air and serves a selection of European, Vietnamese and Cambodian specialities. As you cruise sedately along the river, you can choose to stay on the sundeck overlooking the river or in the large library lounge decorated in neo-colonial style. the boat's low water draft allows the Toum Teav to stop right next to the villages on the riverside.

Itineraries
The Toum Teav operates 2 regular rotations from Siem Reap, home of the magnificent World Heritage site of Angkor Wat, to Phnom Penh, Cambodia's charming capital, and from there to the frenetic metropolis of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) in South Vietnam passing through the wondrous watery world of the Mekong Delta.

From April to Jul, when the river levels are low at the end of the dry season, the Toum Teav can't reach Siem Reap anymore. During this period she sails up the Mekong from Phnom Penh to Kampong Cham and Kratie, the last towns of the country to be navigable on the Mekong River, where you can observe the rare Irrawaddy freshwater dolphins.
