What you'll experience

Placeholder Image Headout Blimp
1/4

Indian buffet dinner

The cruise's defining feature is its Indian buffet, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The current menu highlights dishes such as biryani and chicken tikka, along with other Indian dishes and snacks.

The buffet format works well for groups with different food preferences, letting you choose from the available dishes rather than committing to a plated set menu.

Chao Phraya River views

Cruise past major Bangkok riverside landmarks, including Wat Arun, Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, Memorial Bridge, Rama VIII Bridge, Taksin Bridge, Wat Kanlaya, and Thammasat University. Exact views can vary with the route, weather, river traffic, and your seating position.

Live 80s and 90s music

A live band performs 80s and 90s hits during the cruise. The entertainment adds a social, lively element to dinner rather than creating a quiet sightseeing experience.

Air-conditioned and open-air areas

The cruise has an air-conditioned lower deck and an open-air upper deck. The product does not offer selectable deck categories or guarantee a rooftop, upper-deck, or window seat, so treat seating as allocated unless your ticket states otherwise.

Why choose an Indian Buffet Cruise?

Choose this cruise when Indian food is the deciding factor. You get a dedicated Indian buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices alongside a 2-hour Chao Phraya cruise, Bangkok landmark views, and live 80s and 90s music.

Compared with the operator's standard international buffet programme, this departure puts Indian dining at the centre of the experience. It also departs from Pier 21 at Terminal 21 Rama 3, making the boarding point different from several of the operator's other cruise programmes.

Best for: Guests who want Indian flavours, vegetarian choice, and an evening river cruise with live entertainment.

Keep in mind: This is a lively buffet experience rather than a fine-dining or quiet sightseeing cruise. The product also cannot cater to allergies or gluten intolerance.
