★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 9 reviews · from $74

Spend about four hours moving from your District 1 hotel to a dinner cruise on the Saigon River and back. You will eat a Vietnamese or Asian set menu, or a buffet depending on the sailing, while live music and cultural performances play onboard. The route offers nighttime views of Landmark 81, Bitexco Tower, and Saigon Bridge.

“That was awesome! The pick-up service was spot on time and super neat! The dinner was okay, well provided, and the dishes were regularly refilled. There's more than enough choice. The musical part was nice. Both the girls with their dances and the band that closed the evening. For us personally, this was fantastic, good musicians and especially a beautifully singing singer! Nice view over the illuminated Saigon!”
