The programme

Day 1 - A taste of Khmer cuisine and Apsara dance * At Siem Reap, you have your first taste of Cambodian culture: in your exclusive hotel, you’ll experience a Khmer dinner, which traditionally plays on contrasting flavors, consistencies and temperatures. * An explosion of colors that you’ll also find on the ornate clothing and headdress of the asparas, who interpret ancient sacred Cambodian dance, now listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Observe their hands: through an alphabet comprising 1165 precise gestures, they narrate stories and myths word by word.

Day 2 - Angkor Wat from sunrise to sunset * See the sun rise on Angkor Wat, the legendary city of temples extending over 400 square kilometers and witnessing to the formation and decline of the Khmer empire. * Angkor Thom is its center: the royal city which historically had five entrances and was surrounded by a 100-meter-wide moat defending treasures such as the enigmatic Bayon temple, with its towers decorated with more than 200 smiling faces. * Enter Ta Prohm temple, where the jungle has reasserted its rule, and “read” the world’s longest bas relief outside the temple of Vishnu, before enjoying the sunset on Phnom Bakheng or Srah Srang.

Day 3 - Kuala Lumpur * Fly to Port Klang and dedicate yourself to ultramodern Kuala Lumpur and the Petronas twin towers before the return to the ship.
