Saigon River Cruise is one of the most popular activities in Ho Chi Minh City, especially at night when the entire city sparkles over the water, making the cruise an experience that is both romantic and impressive.

Tourists have a variety of vessels to choose from, ranging from luxurious cruise ships offering buffet dining to traditional wooden boats with a cozy, antique atmosphere. The highlight of every vessel is the continuously changing panoramic view of the city.

During the cruise, you will see important landmarks such as the Bitexco Financial Tower, the Thu Thiem Bridge, and the decorative lights of the high-rises in District 1, all beautifully reflected on the water's surface.

In addition to sightseeing, some boats also feature live music performances, traditional folk dancing, and services offering delicious Vietnamese cuisine, ensuring that every meal on the river becomes a memorable night.
