Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville, Cambodia's coastal gateway on the Gulf of Thailand, stands apart from ordinary cruise ports with a rare mix of unspoiled island-hopping, easy access to pristine beaches, and a gateway to Khmer coast culture. From the ship, you step into a harbor that blends relaxed seaside charm with modern efficiency: a compact, walkable port precinct with shaded promenades, a clean, climate-controlled terminal, and a seamless embarkation/debarkation process that lets you maximize time onshore. Signature experiences span the azure: private speedboat excursions to emerald bays around Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, snorkeling amid vivid coral reefs, mangrove canoe trips through Ream National Park, and sunset seafood feasts along Otres Beach. Optional cultural immersion is just a short tuk-tuk ride away—from a morning temple visit to a hands-on Khmer cooking class and a stroll through lively coastal markets. The destination network is anchored by short, scenic island hops and coastal adventures that can be paired with a short overland extension to Kep and Kampot for pepper farms and caves. The port's fleet-friendly features include deep-water berths that can accommodate mid-sized to larger ships, easy gangway access, on-arrival immigration processing, and a guest-services hub that coordinates shore excursions, tendering, and safety services. Onboard, passengers reap the benefits of the ship's own signature services—gourmet restaurants, spa and wellness centers, enrichment programs with local experts, and family-friendly amenities—ensuring that a call at Sihanoukville is not just a port stop but a curated Cambodian coastal experience.
