Kratie Exploration Cruise

This is the sort of river cruise where disembarking takes willpower. Floor-to-ceiling glass in every suite, daybeds angled at the water, a sundeck that catches the late light. Happily, the Cambodian Mekong provides enough temptation to get you ashore: skiff rides to track Irrawaddy dolphins, bicycle loops through stilt-house villages, a poke around 12th-century Khmer ruins, a stop for Kratie's famously sweet pomelos. The river sets the pace between Kampong Cham and Phnom Penh. The luxury onboard takes care of the rest.
