What is a Han River Night Cruise?

The Han River night cruise offers a one-hour journey exploring Da Nang city by night on the most romantic and beautiful river in the city.
Da Nang river cruise experiences start from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM daily.
As you glide serenely down the river, you can enjoy beautiful city views lit by night, iconic bridges of Da Nang, and a serene atmosphere that is so far removed from the hustle and bustle of daytime.

Unique Experiences of the Han River Cruise

Enjoy the Stunning Night View of Da Nang

When you stand on the cruise, the view is breathtaking. The entire city is glittering with thousands of crystal lights, and you float past famous landmarks: Dragon, Han River, and Tran Thi Ly Bridges, uniquely beautiful.

Experience the Cham Dance

The most exciting part for me was experiencing the Cham traditional dance. Performed by talented Cham dancers in colourful costumes, added culture to what was already beautiful scenery.

Experience the Dragon Bridge Fire and water show (Fri-Sun)

If you choose to cruise from Friday through Sunday, you should see the famous Dragon Bridge fire show at 9:00 PM.
Watching the giant Dragon Bridge breathe fire and spray water is a sight you won’t soon forget.
