River cruise is a great way to see Melaka from a different perspective. Beautifully decorated along the river and the lights were an added bonus. Visit river cruise at night is the best experience as its is cooling.

It was my son's first time, and he absolutely loved it! The night lights were stunning, creating a magical atmosphere. I’ll definitely make sure to experience it again the next time I visit Melaka.

The setting is glorious so you can't go wrong with the little river cruise but I would have sailed for a little longer a bit further up the river or further down towards the sea.
