Private Charter Cruises on the Saigon River
Flowing 256 km from Dau Tieng Lake to the East Sea, the Saigon River (80 km within the city area) is the lifeline of Ho Chi Minh City. Once central to trade during French colonial times and the Vietnam War, today it is a stage for heritage tourism, dining, and exploration.
Enjoy a romantic tropical evening—or a daytime cruise—on the Saigon River, refreshed by cool breezes as the sun drifts over the city. Sip sparkling wine and enjoy canapés while passing landmarks such as Bitexco Tower, Nha Rong Wharf (home to the Hồ Chí Minh Museum), and Cầu Mống Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel.
With stylish interiors, air-conditioning, panoramic windows, and a maximum of 300 passengers, this elegant vessel is the ideal setting for a sunset cocktail or private celebration.
