The luxurious interior of the Bonsai I dragon boat

To experience a bounty of traditional Vietnamese cuisine while taking in the vibrant lights of Ho Chi Minh City at night, the Bonsai I dragon boat offers a two-hour dinner cruise along the Saigon River.

Built in 2004, the Bonsai I stands 11 meters high, 40 meters long, and 9 meters wide. It can carry up to 160 passengers along with its 50-member crew. Run by an Austrian family, the Bonsai I boasts professional service and a high commitment to excellence. Manager Stefan Ernest and his two children warmly greet each passenger onboard. Staff can communicate in no less than six languages.

Sailing into the sunset, diners can sit back, relax and gaze out at the river and lights while sipping a delicious ice cocktail and enjoying mouthwatering cuisine. The hidden charm of Vietnam truly comes alive onboard the Bonsai I with musical accompaniment provided by the local Hoa Mai orchestra and a Filipino band.

While cruising gently along the Saigon River, the onboard Vietnam Cookery Center Saigon offers diners the opportunity to sample an authentic, traditional Vietnamese buffet. Staff can also organize special events onboard including birthdays, company events, parties and weddings.

Bonsai I dragon boat dinner cruises board at 5 p.m. daily and disembark at 7:30 p.m. at Nha Rong Port, 5 Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, District 4, HCMC.
