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.

Discover Cambodia Through Local Eyes

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.

 

What Makes My Shore Excursions Different?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you pick up guests directly at Sihanoukville Port?

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.

Will we return to the Sapphire Princess on time?

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.

Can I customize my shore excursion?

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.

Do you accept last-minute bookings?

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.
