Sail the Chaktomuk River, where the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac meet, on an evening dinner cruise past the illuminated Royal Palace and National Museum, with a Khmer set menu on board. As day turns to evening in Phnom Penh, board a dinner cruise on the Chaktomuk River, the confluence where the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers meet. The boat sets sail around 7pm for a 1.5 hour cruise past the illuminated Phnom Penh skyline, including the Royal Palace, official residence of the King and Queen of Cambodia since 1866, and the National Museum. A Khmer set menu is served on board as the city drifts by. It's a different, waterborne perspective on Phnom Penh, and one of the more relaxed ways to end a day of sightseeing. Private transfer to and from the pier is included, with dinner and the cruise shared alongside other guests on board.

Nice Cruise
The cruise was really nice and the weather was perfect. It wasn't as busy the only negative was in being the first to board the ship, we expected to be served first and the food option was limited. We were almost forgot and had to call someone to place an order. overall the driver was nice and pointed out some highlights along the way.

Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phnom Penh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phnom Penh is not rushed.
Is Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phnom Penh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phnom Penh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phnom Penh and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dinner Cruise along the Phnom Penh Skyline start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phnom Penh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phnom Penh?
+
On Outty we rank every Phnom Penh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour, Visit 11 Places in One Day including S21 & Killing Field, Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phnom Penh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phnom Penh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Guide services throughout the evening excursion; Personal expenses such as meals, drinks, tips and gratuities, shopping, portage fees; Transfers from any airport or resorts located outside the general pick-up and drop-off loc; and Travel insurance coverage for customers (highly recommendable).
