HCMC dinner cruise
Liz G,Apr 1, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00We were picked up from our hotel in district 1 and our tour guide stayed with us on the cruise offering photos and historical information about HCMC. The meal was very good though served not very hot. It was very windy but warm. The cruise was about an hour. Dinner was served at about 7:30 and we returned at 9:30. It was pricey but an indulgent evening that was enjoyed. The entertainment was nice. A keyboard player and 2 singers accompanied by canned percussion. 60s, 70s, 80s disco, pop and easy listening dance music. It was nice to see the city lights at night.
Great dinner while cruising on the river

5.00Nhu was our guide tonight. Super responsive on WhatsApp! He was very helpful in arranging pickup from hotel ( and was there on time!). Nhu accompanied us to the pier and then onto the right boat. There are quite a few! Nhu made sure we were all set for the evening. He appeared at just the right time to take some photos with the city skyline backdrop 😁 Nice cruise, and great music with live performance. Thanks Nhu!
Amazing !!

⭐ 5/5 – Magical Night on the Saigon River!

5.00We did a 3-hour night cruise on the Saigon River with light dinner and drinks, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our trip. The views of Saigon at night were absolutely spectacular — the skyline, the colorful light shows, the bridges, everything looked stunning from the water. Great music, great vibes, and a really relaxed atmosphere to enjoy with friends. Special thanks to our amazing guide Luc. He picked us up right from the hotel, took care of everything at the pier, arranged the best seats on the boat, and even drove us back afterwards. Super friendly, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and fun. Highly recommend this cruise for anyone who wants a memorable night in Saigon.
Amazing Dinner Cruise

5.00From start to finish we had a perfect night. Luc picked us up from our hotel exactly on time and we had an enjoyable and informative drive to the pier in his comfortable vehicle. Boarding was fast and simple and we were very quickly sitting at our table being waited on by the friendly staff. Luc was there to make sure we were comfortable and once we were settled he went his own way till it was time to head home. The Benthanh Princess is a luxurious boat and the menu was amazing. The entree was a prawn salad followed by a main of Lemongrass Chilli Chicken, both amazing. The music and the views along the river were fantastic. When the night was over Luc was there to drive us back to our hotel. A great experience that we are so pleased we did.
