Sunset hits differently from a boat. This 90-minute Mekong cruise turns Phnom Penh’s riverside skyline into a slow, scenic photo session, with cooling breezes and a genuinely relaxed mood. I like the unlimited BBQ value when you choose Gold, and I also like how the crew keeps things moving without being pushy. The main drawback to plan around is that hotel drop-off is not included, so you will want to sort your ride back.

Pickup is straightforward, with a tuk tuk showing a Mekong Magic sign, arriving around 4.15pm to 4.30pm so you reach the dock ahead of the 5pm departure. Think of it as an easy start to a night you do not need to overthink.

You get real choice here. The Gold Option adds unlimited BBQ buffet plus unlimited cold beers and soft drinks, while the Premium Option focuses on drinks with unlimited cold beer and soft drinks. There is also a Cruise Only option if you’d rather buy drinks onboard, cocktail and spirits included.
