Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Stretching over some 154 square miles, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th century.
Day 1 (L/D) Ho Chi Minh City - Siem Reap
Leave the port of Saigon and transfer to the airport for a flight to Siem Reap in Cambodia. Savor a late lunch and check in at the hotel in Siem Reap.
This afternoon, enjoy the hotel pool or spa or join an authentic tuk-tuk ride to explore the town and its market.
Dinner is served at a deluxe local restaurant in Siem Reap.
Hotel: Sokha Hotel (or similar).
Day 2 (B/L/D) Siem Reap
After breakfast at the hotel, You'll drive to Banteay Srei to visit the Citadel of Women. This petite temple possesses some of the most intricate carvings in the Angkor area. Although it is small, the details and quality of its architecture make it a must-see attraction.
Next drive to visit the magnificent temple at Angkor Wat -- a unique and stunning blend of spirituality and symmetry and an enduring example of human devotion to religion. It is the largest and undoubtedly the most breathtaking of the monuments of Angkor, and it is reputedly the largest religious structure in the world.
Lunch is served at the Tara Angkor Hotel (or similar), including soft drinks, local beer or mineral water.
Continue to the Angkor Thom complex to see the Terrace of Elephants, the Leper King and the Bayon. Explore the Bayon Temple, whose giant stone faces have become one of the most recognizable images connected to classic Khmer art and architecture. Ta Prohm Temple, famous for its forest atmosphere and enormous fig trees, looks just as it did when the first European explorers arrived. It is also the location of many scenes filmed for the blockbuster movie Tomb Raider.
Drive back to the hotel and freshen up before a poolside dinner with a show.
Day 3 (B) Siem Reap - Sihanoukville
In the morning, enjoy breakfast and check out of the hotel. Transfer to the airport for a flight to Sihanoukville. Upon arrival, transfer to the port via a panoramic drive through the beach area of Sihanoukville and meet the ship at the pier.
