This Dinner Cruise on the Saigon River that we experienced was well worth the time. We booked a private table, the buffet was loaded with local dishes, we had a live band playing and the drinks flowed. Cruising down the river with a night view of Ho Chi Minh City from the top deck was a lovely sightseeing trip and our guide Rachel was warm and unobtrusive.

We experienced the most gorgeous view of Saigon at night from the Benthanh Princess. The 3 course meal was very good, we chose the Vietnamese menu. Small dining rooms that hold about 12 people where we dined making it a more intimate experience. There is music on the top deck but not too loud you can’t enjoy a post dinner drink. Fabulous staff.

    Everything was perfect. The Vietnamese traditional food was very delicious. I had a nice view on the river cruise, capturing the whole central downtown landscape. The music was so melodious and relaxing.

    Plentiful and tasty buffet dinner, nice view of the colourful modern skyline of downtown Ho Chi Minh skyscrapers. Make sure your tour booking mentions which ship you are on as there are several operated by different companies.

    Great evening dinner cruise on the Mekong

    Stuart_C, Feb 2026
    A great evening out, you can really appreciate the cities buildings light shows. Plenty of room on the boat with a top deck (the Indochina Queen). Food was diverse, good quality and plentiful (no queues or s fight for smorgasbord). Alain our concierge was fantastic from hotel pick-up to return.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

Alain will be very happy to know his service made your experience even more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you again on another memorable cruise in the future! 😊

    Started poorly , finished strong

    Mark_R, Feb 2026
    Firstly I apparently made a mistake with the booking , didn’t realise I selected ‘travel without pick up’ … my screen shot suggested I had included , but tour operator suggested otherwise, initially I wasn’t happy, but that all changed once we got to the boat ..

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand the confusion regarding the pick-up option and truly appreciate your understanding. We’re very happy to hear that you still enjoyed the experience once you arrived on the boat. We hope to welcome you again for another great trip in the future! 😊

    Excellent trip, well...

    Da Nang Boat Tour

    Tina_B, Jan 2026
    I was a bit surprised that we went on tour on a motor cycle, but it was an awesome experience. Both tour guides were awesome and showed us a good a very good time. However, all the bits and pieces of the tour could have been better connected. I.e, we were a bit disappointed that upon arrival on the boat we were not very happy about not being able to sit on the top of the tour boat. Also, considering that fact that our plane had technical issues, I did not feel it was fair that we had to pay a $20.00 rescheduling fee. This may make me considering not scheduling future tours in advance.

    The Experience was incredible for my cruise, it stopped raining about 30min before we sailed and a cooling breeze came through at the perfect time.

    Good value

    Man_W, Jan 2026
    Good for picture taking, food ok. Not too comfortable but service was friendly. I order private table but got a tour group--a bit disappointed.

    So interesting !

    Top notch evening.

    Have a good appetite and be ready for an excellent night's entertainment. Crew are very helpful to make your night enjoyable.

    Not value for money - disappointing

    amanda_s, Nov 2025
    Our guide was very helpful & We were picked up from our hotel & returned as promised , other than that this was extremely over priced for the experience Food was below average Entertainment was entertaining but not in a good way The ship in comparison to the others on the river was dated This was certainly not value for money

    Good experience

    uc_S, Nov 2025
    It is a good experience for me, they have delicious food, nice city vibe, and sightseeing. Good price for this experience

    Worst harbour cruise

    Vicki_B, Nov 2025
    The food is very average, we left most of it, service bad. The worst harbour cruise we’ve ever been on, loud and extremely noisy. Of the 16 bottles of wine available on the wine list only one was white and they didn’t have any. Well below Viatour’s standards. Our guide Tuan, on the other hand was very very good.

    Clever marketing but not worth it in reality.

    graham_m, Nov 2025
    The photos in the promotional text in no way represent the actual experience. It implies a individual table next to the edge of the boat to enjoy the view. This doesn't happen. We were inside where our table was separated maybe 6 inches from the next one. Then you go up on deck afterwards and scrabble to get a seat with a view. The whole thing was way below our expectations for the price we paid.

    Huge Disappointment!

    Dale_N, Nov 2025
    I signed up for a dinner cruise to be picked up at my hotel, as I was waiting in the lobby at 6:0 clock I received a text telling me that I would now be picked up at 8PM, I cannot sit around waiting until 8 PM when I had planned on 6 PM! II can say that you have ruined what I thought was going to be a nice relaxing evening and will never be able to trust you again!

    The food was good and the...

    The food was good and the entertainment was superb! The views on the Saigon River were beautiful as well

    We had an amazing time!...

    Dangelo_H, Oct 2025
    We had an amazing time! Alain, our tour guide, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. The food was incredible, and the entertainment kept us smiling all night!

    If you want to be deaf and get lung cancer be my guest. Deafening music, secondhand smoke, cruise to nowhere.

    SamtheCaliforinian, Oct 2025
    The food was below average but I expected touristy cruise like this. But the music is so loud throughout that you have to leave but there is no rom to even escape. The upper deck is not an open deck so the music is trapped. The cruise is to the quiet side of the river not even pass Landmark 81 and there is really nothing to see except the river is quite dirty with visible trash floating at night. There are better cruises out there. Join a cruise with smaller boats that can cross under the bridge.

    Dinner and River cruise

    Debbie_C, Sep 2025
    An amazing night, the food and entertainment was great. It was my birthday and wedding anniversary and the table was decorated and the staff sang happy birthday and presented me with a cake. Our guide Alain we picked us up from the hotel was so lovely. He was in constant contact during yo day, providing information about the night ahead.

    Awfull

    Paola_M, Aug 2025
    The food was the worst I ever ate, the service and environment wasn’t better either. Only the lights and city views were nice. It would have been better if from the begonning you know what cruise from the 3 they have you are booking.
