About Us

A Cambodian Story on the River

Our Story

Inspired by Cambodia’s First Queen

Neang Neakii Cruises takes its name from Neang Neakii, the legendary First Queen of Cambodia, whose story is connected to the Naga and Cambodia’s waterways.

Inspired by this heritage, our family-owned Cambodian team created Neang Neakii Cruises to offer a more personal way to experience the Mekong and Tonlé Sap. With just six cabins and twelve guests, our journeys bring together genuine hospitality, local communities and everyday life along the river.
