The cruise has been wonderful. We are really enjoying it. The morning of day 3 had great activities.
The boat is terrific, the cabin is great and the staff are great as well.
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.
Very nice, 8 days on board is one of the best memories we've had.
I personally like the trip to Tan Chau, Silk Island, and Angkor Ban. These places are beautiful and I took so many pictures. Thank the staff for this amazing tour.
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. The tour instructors are knowledgeable about flowers, and the trip's speed is enjoyable for everyone.… More 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.

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.
