“If there would be an option to give 10* out of 5, this cruise deserves it. Rooftop is the best and the show performed live was, legendary. The staff did great and overall experience was awesome. For the context I was after almost 48h with no sleep due to flights, transfers and enjoying Bangkok and its atmosphere and culture. But this cruise, with a special surprise that we got for my father birthdays, is worth every penny. Overall: great views (Christmas lights in Bangkok are awesome), great crew and amazing atmosphere. Good food with nice beer is a part of this experience. Highly recommended🥂”
