Cruise options by Alangka Cruise
Alangka has several daily sunset and dinner cruises to offer:
Detailed information about each of these dinner cruises is provided below.
1. Alangka sunset cruise from ICONSIAM
On the sunset cruise, you are boarding the boat in the daylight, seeing the sunset while cruising along the Chao Phraya River, and coming back at the time it gets dark. Therefore, on this cruise you won't see the main landmarks lit up.
The sunset cruise is shorter than the dinner cruise and lasts only 1 hour and 30 minutes, so it's a good choice for travelers who are looking to spend less time on the boat.
The sunset cruise is also a more affordable option, even if it comes not only with a shorter duration but also with a smaller selection of meals on the menu (no salmon on the menu) and not as an extensive entertainment program (no Thai classical dance show). A big advantage for people who love to have a glass of beer with their meal is that free-flow beer is offered during the sunset cruise, so with this option, you save even more!
