5.00We had a great night on the cruise. The food was fantastic. The entertainment was great and altogether a lovely way to spend a relaxing evening watching the lights of the city as you sail past. Staff were all lovely, and thanks Queenie for the great communication and getting as to and from our hotel.
Amazing evening on the cruise!

5.00Delightful evening on the boat! Glittering skyline, comfortable dining, great food and fabulous guide with Joey. She was informative, personable and just the right touch of being with us and also mingling with her other guests. She knew so much about Ho Chi Mihn City and the River, commerce, landmark buildings and culture. I learned a lot about the many, many motor scooters and the people. Highly recommend this trip. Relaxing, perfect evening- couldn’t have asked for more. Joey was ‘on it’ all the way! We’d do it again if we come back to HCM City and we’d ask for Joey again too!

5.00Organisation was very good, the buffet had a lot of choice and tasted really good. The staff was super organized and fast. You could go on deck and enjoy the view or stay at the table and eat and enjoy to traditional music. Worth mentioning is our super cute tour guide My, she was incredibly nice and accommodating. Thanks for that! All in all, it was worth it.
