La Marguerite has 3 levels of cabin, and if you can afford it, stay above the waterline, which means your room will have a balcony. The balconies are small, and it is normally too hot to sit outside for long periods, but they are ideal for drying clothing.
Overall I had a good experience.

The ship is well-appointed, and the meals are of great quality, but it is the staff who have left us with memories that will last a lifetime. The rooms are tended by competent and nice individuals.

Spectacular

We went on a tour that began in Siem Reap and was lodged at Shinta Mani Resort upon arrival before embarking on the cruise.
The itinerary goes flawlessly from start to finish, with excellent guides, well-paced excursions, highly comfortable buses, and safe riverboats. RV La Marguerite concludes the journey with an excellent overall experience.
