At the village, learn how he and his family introduce this traditional art to the world, and enjoy a real performance right at the home of water puppetry. Finish the trip by enjoying a private outdoor show on the village pond accompanied by live, traditional orchestra music.

  • The Jahan

    The Jahan

    An ideal floating retreat for couples or small groups, Heritage Line’s newest vessel is a colonial throwback, British–Indian style featuring attentive concierge and butler staff, sunrise Tai Chi and delightful cooking classes. From My Tho to Angkor, a week aboard The Jahan reveals the many inventive ways Vietnamese and Cambodians live on the water. In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, take relaxing sampan tours of a floating market, canals, floating villages, a catfish farm and a Cham Muslim community. In Cambodia, visit Phnom Penh, the entirely stilted “waterworld” of Kampong Chhnang, and surrounding villages. Engage with monks, laugh with children or join for a swim in the tea-colored waters. Your Jahan cruise ends on Tonle Sap lake at Siem Reap.
