Real experiences from real travelers
The Pruek cruise was the highlight of our Bangkok trip. The Michelin-starred food was incredible and the yacht felt so exclusive. Worth every penny.
We booked the Opulence cruise. The buffet had a huge variety, especially the seafood. The rooftop views of Wat Arun are breathtaking for photos.
The Saffron cruise by Banyan Tree was so romantic. The service was impeccable and the 4-course meal was delicious. Much quieter than the buffet boats.
Did the Chao Phraya Princess with my family. The live band was great and everyone was dancing by the end. Good food and amazing city lights.
Booking through this site was so easy. We got instant confirmation for the River Star Princess. The Thai dancing was beautiful and the kids loved it.
Seeing the temples lit up at night from the water is a different world. The Grand Pearl cruise was very comfortable and well-organized.
The Noah cruise is brand new and very modern. For the price, the luxury feel of the boat is unbeatable. Highly recommend the sunset slot.
Smooth check-in at ICONSIAM. The staff on the Opulence cruise were very helpful. The international buffet had many options for different tastes.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The most popular time is the dinner cruise (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM) to see the temples illuminated. Sunset cruises (5:00 PM) are also beautiful for photography.
Most cruises depart from ICONSIAM, Asiatique The Riverfront, or River City Bangkok. Always check your specific booking voucher for the pier and gate number.
Most luxury cruises suggest 'smart casual.' Avoid swimwear or flip-flops. Premium cruises like Saffron or Pruek prefer no shorts or tank tops.
Water, tea, and coffee are often included. Soft drinks and alcohol are usually available for purchase on board, unless you book a premium package with free-flow options.
Yes, especially for weekends and holidays like Loy Krathong or New Year's Eve, as the best cruises sell out weeks in advance.
Yes, almost all cruises offer a variety of vegetarian dishes in their buffets or have a dedicated vegetarian set menu available upon request.
For romance, we recommend the Saffron or Pruek cruises, which offer intimate seating and a more quiet, sophisticated atmosphere compared to the larger buffet boats.
Absolutely. Children are welcome and most cruises offer discounted rates for kids under a certain height or age.
Most vessels have enclosed, air-conditioned lower decks. If it rains, the outdoor areas may be closed, but the cruise and dining will continue comfortably inside.
