    Full description
    Drift into the evening aboard The Merchant River Cruise on the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, where cooling river breezes, golden sunset views, and a welcome cocktail with canapés set the tone for a memorable night. Cruise past peaceful riverside villages and quiet islets as the river reveals stories of ancient trading journeys—when merchant ships once anchored here to exchange spices, silks, ceramics, and culture from distant lands.

    Savor a refined 5-course Spice Route-inspired menu celebrating the best seasonal produce from Hoi An’s land and sea. As the evening winds down, glide back beneath softly glowing lanterns before disembarking at Namia River Retreat.
