The verdict
Which should you choose?
Avalon Siem Reap is an intimate Avalon Waterways ship carrying 36 passengers, in service since 2015. Safari Explorer is an intimate Un-Cruise Adventures ship carrying 36 passengers, in service since 1998. Avalon Siem Reap has no Bliss scores yet, so the verdict rests on the figures we do hold.
Choose Avalon Siem Reap if you want a newer ship, more crew per passenger or more space per passenger: its maiden voyage was in 2015 (vs 1998), it has a crew member for every 1.5 passengers (vs 2.4) and it has 26.4 gross tons per passenger (vs 19.3).
Safari Explorer does not lead by a clear margin on any measure we track, so pick it for its itinerary or its dates.
