Are you arriving in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, on board the Sapphire Princess on 31 December 2026 or 11 February 2027?

Welcome!

My name is Aya, and I was born and raised in Sihanoukville. For many years, I've been welcoming cruise guests from around the world and sharing the Cambodia I know and love.

If your cruise includes a stop in Sihanoukville, you may be looking for something different from the large cruise ship excursions. My private shore excursions are relaxed, flexible and designed around your interests, allowing you to experience Cambodia at your own pace.

Every guest is different, so every tour is different.

Some visitors enjoy beautiful temples and local history. Others prefer local markets, fishing villages, the countryside or simply seeing how Cambodian families live their daily lives.

I enjoy sharing not only the famous sights but also the everyday life, traditions and small details that make Cambodia special. Those are often the moments my guests remember long after their cruise has ended.

Before and during the tour, I take the time to understand what interests you most. Together, we'll create a relaxed day that suits your wishes while making sure you return comfortably to your cruise ship on time.

My goal isn't simply to show you the highlights of Sihanoukville—it's to help you leave Cambodia with wonderful memories and a genuine understanding of the local culture.

Unlike large group excursions, my tours are personal and flexible.

There is no fixed script and no pressure to rush from one stop to the next. Instead, I enjoy sharing my hometown with visitors who are curious about Cambodia and want to experience more than the typical tourist attractions.

Many of my guests tell me that spending time with a local guide helped them understand Cambodia in a completely different way.

Whether you're interested in photography, local food, Buddhism, history or everyday life, I'll do my best to create a day you'll always remember.

When you book one of my private shore excursions, you can expect:

• A private tour exclusively for your family or friends
• Friendly English-speaking local guide
• Flexible itinerary based on your interests
• Comfortable air-conditioned transportation
• No shopping pressure
• Authentic local experiences
• Guaranteed on-time return to the Sapphire Princess

My priority is simple: I want you to enjoy a memorable, relaxed and authentic day in Cambodia.

If this is your first visit to Cambodia, you may enjoy reading some of the free travel guides on my website before your cruise arrives.

I recommend:

• Sihanoukville Port Guide 
• Money & Payment Guide for Cambodia 
• Sihanoukville Travel Tips for Cruise Passengers 
• Private Shore Excursions in Sihanoukville 

These guides answer many of the practical questions cruise guests ask before arriving in Sihanoukville.

Booking a local guide is an important decision.

If you'd like to see what previous guests experienced during their visit to Cambodia, I invite you to read my reviews.

Guest Reviews & Testimonials (internal link to Reviews or Google Reviews)

I'm always grateful when guests take the time to share their experiences after spending the day with me.

Yes.

I'll meet you near the cruise terminal after you leave the port shuttle. Before your arrival, I'll send you clear meeting instructions, making it easy and stress-free to find me.

Absolutely.

Returning to your cruise ship safely and on time is one of my highest priorities. Every private shore excursion is carefully planned around your ship's schedule, with plenty of time allowed for the return journey.

Yes!

Every private tour is flexible whenever possible. Whether you'd like to visit temples, local markets, fishing villages, pepper farms or simply experience everyday life in Cambodia, I'll be happy to tailor the day to your interests.

Sometimes.

If I'm still available, I'll be happy to arrange a private shore excursion, even at short notice. However, because I only accept a limited number of bookings for each cruise ship visit, I recommend contacting me as early as possible.

It's easy.

Simply visit my  Contact Aya to Reserve Your Private Shore Excursion page  and send me:

• Your cruise date
• Number of guests
• Any special interests or requests

I normally reply within 24 hours and will be happy to answer any questions before your cruise.

Whether you'd like to discover local culture, beautiful temples, the Cambodian countryside or simply enjoy a relaxed day away from the large coach groups, I'd be delighted to welcome you.

Every tour is personal because every guest is different.

I hope your visit to Cambodia becomes one of the highlights of your cruise, and I'd love the opportunity to share my hometown with you.
