This was such a feel-good cruise. Boarding at the ICONSIAM pier was very convenient, and the crew on board was extremely helpful. The buffet spread was fantastic—the grilled river prawns, baked mussels with butter, salmon sashimi, and all the other dishes were well worth it. The singer and the music on board were great, and getting a discount through Klook made it an even better value.

We had a wonderful Chao Phraya Sunset Dinner Cruise experience! The views along the river were absolutely beautiful, especially during sunset. The atmosphere was relaxing, the live entertainment was enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was good, with a nice variety of dishes. The only thing we noticed was that there was no sashimi. We're not sure if it was unavailable that day or if it's only served during the evening dinner cruise. Overall, it was still a memorable experience and definitely worth trying. Highly recommended!

Had an amazing dinner cruise. A bit many people tho but all in all I’ve enjoyed it. Food was amazing and service was fast and very approachable. Just sad they have to move me to a different table because the table I was sitting on was good for 2 adults ;((.

It was a very luxurious dinner cruise. The Thai dancers came right to our table to take pictures with us, which made for a wonderful memento. We have used this cruise many times before, but compared to the past, the buffet has improved in quality with every single dish, and it was delicious. The meat was tender and tasty, and we thoroughly enjoyed the desserts as well. I was impressed by the staff, who always greeted us with a smile. I am also deeply grateful that they reached out to help my husband, who has difficulty walking.

It was easily a 10/10 experience!The ambiance, the overall look and feel of the boat, the people, and especially the food were all spectacular! Everything was so well put together and made the whole experience feel extra special. The singers and dancers were SUPERB!They were incredibly talented, entertaining, and really knew how to keep everyone engaged throughout the cruise. The performances definitely added so much energy and fun to the entire experience. Would absolutely recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun, beautiful, and memorable experience.

Royal Princess Cruise was wonderful! ✨ The vibes, the staff, and the food were all amazing! 🥰 You can also make a request if you’d like to transfer to another seat with a better view. The staff were so accommodating and made the experience even more special. The service was 100/10! ❤️ Definitely a wonderful experience!
