What you can expect

Begin your evening at a historic theatre and witness the world-famous Water Puppet Show. This 1,000-year-old art form transforms a pool of water into a magical stage where hidden puppeteers bring rural myths, dragon dances, and ancient folklore to life, accompanied by a live traditional orchestra.

After the show, skip the logistical stress as you smoothly transition to the harbour. As you step aboard your floating oasis, the cultural journey doesn't stop. While most boats blast generic pop music, your cruise is dedicated to preserving local arts. Throughout the voyage, be serenaded by live authentic folk music, featuring rare ethnic instruments and traditional dances.

As the boat glides past the contrast of colonial riverbanks and towering skyscrapers like Landmark 81, you will indulge in The Grand International Buffet. Enjoy an endless feast of over 60 Asian-Western dishes, featuring a dedicated local seafood station with fresh oysters, scallops, and prawns, while being serenaded by live authentic Vietnamese folk music.
