Pass by the iconic Nha Rong Wharf, Bitexco building, Landmark 81, and many other buildings along the Saigon River. Sip on a drink while sightseeing with a bar ready to serve you onboard. Enjoy an uninterrupted journey, made comfortable with padded seats and clear aisles on the train.

How many times have you passed by the Saigon River, but have you ever seen the river like a "silk strip" flowing across the city? Have you had time to admire the magnificent architecture and the iconic buildings on both sides of the river, coloring the softness of the river?

Cruising in the sunset hour where the water is sparkling with vibrant splashes of pink, orange and gold and the air is crisp and breezy. Cruise on the Saigon River to enjoy the city is an experience not to be missed when you are in the pearl of the Far East.

Or take a ride in the evening when the stars align and the city is bright with neon lights.
