Quarter 4: Viking Cruises - Orion
Sihanoukville lies along the Gulf of Thailand coast, where a low, built-up peninsula meets sheltered bays and the offshore islands of Cambodia’s southern shore. Quarter 4 occupies the city’s northwestern waterfront, close to the port district and the road leading towards Victory Beach. Cambodia’s principal seaport is based here: the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port is the country’s only deep-water port, making this coastline central to national maritime trade. The city was developed in the 1950s and 1960s around the new port and was named for King Norodom Sihanouk. Today its waterfront combines working harbour infrastructure, hotels and access to beaches and boat connections across the Gulf.

Quarter 4 is best known within Preah Sihanouk Province for its setting on Cambodia’s Gulf of Thailand coast. It forms part of Sihanoukville, the country’s principal port city and a fast-changing seaside centre. Sihanoukville was developed in the 1960s around Cambodia’s first deep-water port, now operated as the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, giving the city an important role in national trade. Beyond the urban streets, the province’s coast faces island-dotted waters and a series of beaches that have long shaped its identity.

The terrain of Cambodia ranges from the forested Cardamom Mountains in the southwest to the Mekong lowlands in the east, creating a country shaped by floodplains and seasonal water. The Mekong and Tonlé Sap govern much of its geographic rhythm; during the rainy season, the Tonlé Sap River reverses direction and feeds Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake. Near Siem Reap, Angkor preserves the monumental centre of the Khmer Empire, including Angkor Wat, a temple built in the early 12th century. Phnom Penh stands where the Mekong, Tonlé Sap and Bassac rivers meet. Rice farming remains central to rural life, while Khmer cooking draws on rice, freshwater fish and aromatic herbs.
