How Saffron Cruise unfolds

TimeWhat happens

6:30pm

Check in at ICONSIAM Pier 1 before making your way to Pier 2 for boarding.

7pm

Board the two-storey riverboat and begin your evening cruise along the Chao Phraya River.

10pm

What you'll experience on Saffron Cruise

4-course Thai set dinner

Enjoy a fixed 4-course Thai menu served at your table, rather than a self-service buffet. Choose a vegetarian or non-vegetarian menu.

Bangkok after dark

Cruise past riverside sights including Wat Arun, Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, Memorial Bridge, Rama VIII Bridge, Santa Cruz Church and Phra Sumen Fort. The exact route and visibility can vary with river conditions.

Indoor dining & open-air views

The two-storey boat combines indoor dining with an open-air viewing area and alfresco bar, giving you space to take in the river between courses.

Live entertainment

Live entertainment is included during the cruise, while the restaurant-style dining remains the focus of the evening.

What makes Saffron different?

Saffron Cruise is designed for guests who want the meal to be as important as the river views. Banyan Tree serves a 4-course Thai set menu at your table, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, rather than the international buffet found on many larger Chao Phraya dinner cruises.

The two-storey vessel, indoor dining and alfresco bar create a more restaurant-led setting, making Saffron a better fit if you prefer a slower dining experience over a high-capacity party cruise.
