Operating Schedule:Cruise on the Saigon River on a double-decker boat to enjoy the city during the sunset or in the sparkling evening. Experience a 2-story boat with the upper deck opening up to a 360-degree view of the entire city. Pass by the iconic Nha Rong Wharf, Bitexco building, Landmark 81, and many other buildings along the Saigon River. Sip on a drink while sightseeing with a bar ready to serve you onboard. Enjoy an uninterrupted journey, made comfortable with padded seats and clear aisles on the train. How many times have you passed by the Saigon River, but have you ever seen the river like a "silk strip" flowing across the city? Have you had time to admire the magnificent architecture and the iconic buildings on both sides of the river, coloring the softness of the river? Cruising in the sunset hour where the water is sparkling with vibrant splashes of pink, orange and gold and the air is crisp and breezy. Cruise on the Saigon River on a double-decker boat to enjoy the city is an experience not to be missed when you are in the pearl of the Far East. Or take a ride in the evening when the stars align and the city is bright with neon lights. Your sightseeing boat offers two seating options: - River Seat: Located on the lower deck at the back of the boat. Guests with this ticket are not allowed to access the upper deck. - Sky Seat: Located on the upper deck, offering a more elevated view of the surroundings. Please note that the ticket prices for each option are different. We recommend choosing the seat type that best suits your preferences to ensure the most enjoyable experience. The QR code ticket to board the cruise will be sent to your WhatsApp number or Tripadvisor message chat box.

Very enjoyable boat ride covering the highlights of Ho Chi Minh. Loved having assigned seats and the live music, limited commentary but perfect for a short ride.

The below deck was lovely. The ice cream is more like frozen yogurt and the entertainment was lovely. I liked the radio tour.

We took the 6pm cruise (2 adults + 1 child). Perfect timing to enjoy the sunset. Comfortable seats (sky deck), friendly crew, complimentary ice cream & musician performance. Perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend!
