Boarding from ICONSIAM Pier 2, begin your journey at the iconic ICONSIAM Pier, a luxurious riverside complex that blends world-class shopping, dining, and Thai cultural heritage. Whether you're boarding Meridian Cruise 1 or 2 for the sunset or dinner round, this location sets the perfect tone for a memorable evening.

Don’t forget to arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in at Pier No.1 and meet your host. After the cruise, you’ll return to this same pier, refreshed and entertained.
Wat Arun
Pass by

As your cruise sails past the majestic Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, witness one of Bangkok’s most iconic riverside landmarks illuminated in golden hues. Named after the Indian god Aruna, this riverside marvel is famed for its stunning porcelain-adorned spire, which glimmers as the sun sets. Whether during the sunset round or dinner cruise, the silhouette of Wat Arun creates a spiritual and picturesque moment. It's a top highlight for photography lovers and a significant symbol of Thai heritage. Your guide will share the historical and cultural relevance of this temple, enhancing your experience on board (if selected in package).
The Grand Palace
Pass by

Admire the grandeur of the Grand Palace, a symbol of Thailand’s royal heritage and architectural brilliance. As your cruise glides past this majestic landmark, take in the glittering golden rooftops and intricate Thai craftsmanship from a unique riverfront perspective. The palace complex, once the official residence of Thai kings, stands as a testament to centuries of history and royal ceremonies. During the evening cruises, the Grand Palace is beautifully illuminated, offering breathtaking views for photography and storytelling onboard (if selected in package). The elegant spires, pavilions, and walled enclosures represent the heart of old Bangkok, making this one of the most iconic sights on your river journey.
Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Pass by

Behold the revered Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist site. Located within the Grand Palace complex, this temple is home to a highly venerated Emerald Buddha statue carved from a single jade block. As the cruise passes by (if selected in package), your guide may highlight its deep spiritual significance, royal rituals, and seasonal robe changes performed by the King of Thailand himself. Its traditional Thai architecture with golden chedis and ornate rooftops sparkles under night lights, offering a serene and awe-inspiring moment on your river cruise. This sacred site reflects the spiritual soul of Bangkok, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness it.
Rama VIII Bridge
Pass by

Glide under the modern marvel that is the Rama VIII Bridge, a cable-stayed structure that adds a modern twist to your scenic journey. During both sunset and dinner cruises, its lights reflect across the Chao Phraya River creating a cinematic moment. The bridge symbolizes the seamless blend of traditional and contemporary Bangkok. It’s also a highlight for architecture lovers and offers a unique contrast to the historical landmarks viewed earlier in the cruise. As the vessel passes beneath the bridge, enjoy photo opportunities and the ambient music onboard that adds to the magic.
Asiatique The Riverfront
Pass by

For guests joining Meridian Cruise 1 Sunset Round, Asiatique serves as both your departure and return point. This lively open-air market and entertainment zone is filled with boutiques, street performers, and vibrant night vibes. After the cruise, feel free to explore the riverside promenade or indulge in Thai snacks and souvenirs. Asiatique offers a perfect blend of modern fun and traditional charm.
