Visiting Sihanoukville on Seabourn - did Seabourn arrange a Visa onboard?

[DPTANDT]

We will be making a port call in December on the Seabourn Encore at Sihanoukville in Cambodia. There seems to be some confusion about whether passengers need to arrange a Visa in advance, or whether Seabourn arrange a Visa onboard on arrival. Has anyone any experience of this? Travelling to our local Cambodia Embassy to arrange a Visa could be time consuming and expensive and we’d like avoid the hassle if possible! 
Thanks everyone, any info appreciated!

We visited Sihanoukville on the Seabourn in the spring of last year. Seabourn arranged our visas on board and the cost was $50 pp, charged to our shipboard account.

Just received a reply from Seabourn Guest Services. The Visa required for Sihanoukville will indeed be arranged by Guest Services onboard, at an estimated cost of $65 per person. As the local Cambodian Embassy charges $45, it doesn’t seem such a bad deal! Saves us a night in a hotel so makes sense.

My memory has been jogged. Yes, it was also $65 per person last year when Encore arranged our Cambodian visas on board. 
 

Either way, it’s a small additional price to pay to avoid the hassle of travelling to your local embassy. 
 

I hope that you enjoy Sihanoukville. Happy travels!

Thank you Mrs C, you too!
