Classy live music, both beautiful voices. Incredibly large staff that fulfills every wish immediately. Awesome buffet and intoxicating ambiance, and then the ride itself. The only thing that bothers me is the 50% of people who just stare at their phones the entire ride anyway.
There are plenty of Dinner Cruises that can be booked by anyone, but for us nothing beats the hospitality and thoroughly refined service of Opulence. It rained very hard just before our boarding could start. We were ready to head back and simply get a refund, but the entire system of Opulence is simply superb. They were ready for all eventualities. The heavy rain was not enough to spoil the experience. You would not get disappointed in every aspect. This review space is not enough to list the many small things they have thought of for the passengers. Suffice to say that if you are thinking of having a Dinner Cruise in Bangkok along the Chao Praya River, book Opulence. You will not regret the choice.
The boat was comfortable and the atmosphere stayed relaxed all evening. Watching Bangkok light up while enjoying dinner made for a lovely end to the day.
We boarded from Iconsiam, which made the evening easy from the start. The cruise felt polished, but not uncomfortable or overly fancy. I enjoyed seeing the Grand Palace and riverside landmarks lit up at night. It was a smooth way to spend a Bangkok evening without planning much.
Sensational!!!! The music was “Broadway” quality, the energy was fabulous… can’t wait to go back again!
Wasn't worth the hype. Better off doing the hop on and off ferry during the day.
We were onboard for my husband's birthday. They have a variety of foods. the cruise left at 8 p.m., which is good for the summer weather. It's not hot because there is a cool breeze from wind and we can sit on the deck to see the beautiful night view along the Chao Phraya River. My husband is happy and the family as well. Thank you for the small birthday cake. It's an unexpected kindness. The cruise members were very polite and take good care of us. Thank you again.
"An absolutely unforgettable evening! The views of the illuminated temples, especially Wat Arun, were breathtaking from the upper deck. The buffet offered a huge variety of Thai and international dishes. The live band and traditional Thai dancers kept us entertained all night. It’s a bit chaotic on the pier great area to look around nice bars and restaurants don’t join the queue until boarding site in bar close by ready but once you're on board, it's a great trip highly recommend.
I had the best birthday. Thankyou oppulence cruise for the wonderful service, i might be back soon. Thankyouuuuuuuuuy
It was an amazing experience. My wife loved the view, and so did I. The staff on board were friendly and helpful, and it was reasonably priced. This tour is highly recommended.
