Traveler reviews
Santaya River Cruises
Delicious food, great atmosphere, helpful staff, good service.
Crowded and chaotic, but fun to see fireworks.
How you like this tour depends a lot on personality. It is a real crowd scene at the boarding location of all these tours and is overwhelming. That said, I think this company appeared to do better than others at keeping things more orderly for boarding. The buffet has to accommodate quite a few cultures, so that makes it hard to please everyone - the food was okay, but there was no line or flow. It felt like a fight to the finish with everyone crowding all parts at once. The entertainment was average and not very authentic. Mostly western music with a few costumed dancers thrown in. it was fun to see the fireworks on the river.
A great night out!
The Viva Alangka Dinner Cruise was an absolute highlight of our trip to Bangkok! From the moment we stepped aboard, we were treated like royalty. The boat was beautifully decorated and offered stunning views of the Chao Phraya River, including iconic landmarks like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace lit up at night. The buffet was delicious and had a wide variety of Thai and international dishes—everything was fresh and flavorful. The live music and cultural performances added such a lively, joyful vibe to the evening. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves at every moment.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting great food, spectacular views, and top-notch entertainment
The Cruise was an absolutely amazing experience! The moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted by a warm and friendly staff who made us feel welcome right away. The atmosphere was lively, and the views of Bangkok’s illuminated skyline were breathtaking. The buffet had a great variety of delicious Thai and international dishes, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The highlight of the night was the cabaret show! The performers were stunning, full of energy, and incredibly talented. The music, costumes, and choreography made for an unforgettable performance that kept us entertained the entire evening. If you're looking for a fun and memorable night out in Bangkok, this cruise is a must! Big thanks to IAsia for securing the open air deck for us too
Beautiful atmosphere of the outdoor tables, to improve the rest
Experience for tourists, beautiful outdoor tables but is more likely to find yourself in the indoor room, sometimes even with reduced visibility of the breathtaking exterior. The gastronomic choice remains small and of not high quality.
