Sihanoukville Cruise Ship Schedule

Sihanoukville (Preah Sihanouk) is Cambodia’s main deep-water port and the primary gateway for cruise ships. Vessels typically berth at the Old Jetty Quay.

This page provides a list of cruise ships scheduled to arrive in port with detailed information, including dates and estimated time of arrival and departure. To show how busy the port is, the maximum passenger capacity for each vessel is included (based on double occupancy). The timetable displays dates and times cruise liners are scheduled to arrive into port in late 2026 and early 2027, with the name of the ship, cruise operator, and passenger capacity.

Schedules are subject to change. Always confirm with your cruise line. For visa information when arriving by cruise ship, see the Cambodia Borders page (e-Visa is not accepted for seaport arrivals; Visa on Arrival is required).

About Sihanoukville Port & Shore Time

Sihanoukville (officially Preah Sihanouk) is Cambodia’s principal deep-water port on the Gulf of Thailand. Cruise ships usually berth at the Old Jetty Quay inside the commercial port area. From the pier it is a short transfer into the town centre, the main beaches (Occheuteal, Serendipity, Otres) and the ferry terminals for the nearby islands.

Most cruise calls are day visits: ships typically arrive in the morning and depart in the late afternoon or evening. This gives passengers several hours for independent exploration or organised shore excursions. The port is relatively compact, so even a short stay allows time for beaches, a local market visit, or a quick trip toward Ream National Park or the island ferries.

• Berth: Old Jetty Quay (main passenger berth used by most cruise lines).
• Visa: e-Visa is not accepted for cruise-ship / seaport arrivals. Visa on Arrival is required and is frequently arranged by the cruise line (fee is often higher than the standard land/airport rate). See the Cambodia Borders page for full requirements.
• Currency: US dollars are widely accepted alongside the Cambodian riel. ATMs are available in town.
• Language: Khmer is the national language; English is spoken in tourist areas and by many drivers and guides.

What to See & Do on a Shore Excursion

Cars, Taxis & Private Tours for Cruise Passengers

Because shore time is limited, many cruise visitors prefer a private car or pre-arranged taxi so they can maximise their time ashore without waiting for shared transport. Private vehicles with English-speaking drivers are available for:

• Port meet-and-greet and return transfers
• Half-day or full-day city and beach tours
• Island ferry drop-off and pick-up
• Custom itineraries (temples, markets, national park, seafood stops)

We recommend booking in advance, especially on days when larger ships (e.g. Sapphire Princess, ms Westerdam) are in port, so a vehicle is ready when you clear immigration.

Tips for a smooth cruise call

• Confirm with your cruise line whether visa processing is handled onboard or at the pier, and what the exact fee will be.
• Carry clean US-dollar notes for taxis, small purchases and tips.
• If you plan to visit the islands, check ferry schedules against your ship’s all-aboard time — return ferries can be limited in the late afternoon.
• Heat and humidity are high; bring water, sun protection and comfortable walking shoes.
• For the latest ship schedule and port information, re-check closer to your travel date, as itineraries can change.
