Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style, and dinners are seated. A light menu and snacks are available upon request, along with cooking classes for local dishes.
Magical Mekong Adventures
The Lan Diep offers 9 and 11-day cruises from Saigon to Siem Reap, stopping in Phnom Penh. Guests can explore highlights like the Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Cai Be floating market, and Tonlé Sap lake.
