Elite of Saigon – A new icon of luxury tourism on the Saigon River

The Elite of Saigon cruise is Aclass Group's first product in Ho Chi Minh City.

Elite of Saigon is not just a cruise — it’s a floating home of elegance and emotion, where every moment blends the rhythm of the river with the rhythm of Saigon itself.

A new mark on the heritage river

Ho Chi Minh City is entering the peak season for international tourists, lasting from late September to April the following year – a time when the tourism industry intensifies the introduction of new products and services to attract and retain visitors.

The Elite of Saigon cruise can accommodate 500 guests, featuring three decks surrounded by a 360-degree panoramic glass system, allowing visitors to enjoy the city's beauty day and night.

Amidst the bustling life of the central port, Elite of Saigon stands out as a new symbol of luxury tourism on the Saigon River. This 5-star restaurant cruise can host up to 500 guests, with a three-deck design surrounded by a 360-degree panoramic glass system, offering a complete view of the city day and night.

The sophisticated design ensures every spot on the ship becomes a “million-dollar view”, where light, water, and urban rhythm blend, creating an impressive scene for visitors. The space is flexibly arranged with separate VIP rooms, a relaxing pool, indoor and outdoor stages, and four luxurious bars, catering to diverse needs from dining to event hosting.

Guests can choose a midday journey (10 AM - 1:30 PM) or an evening journey (6 PM - 10 PM), departing from Khanh Hoi Port, with a private electric vehicle system for transportation.

Culinary and artistic experience in the heart of the City

Cuisine on Elite of Saigon is crafted in an international fine dining style, combining a rich buffet and a 5-star standard set menu. Under the hands of an experienced chef team, each dish becomes a culinary masterpiece, inspired by the essence of Vietnam and the world, served with fine wine and melodious music on the river.

From the deck, visitors can admire the panoramic view of the city's iconic structures, such as Ben Nha Rong, Bach Dang Wharf, Thu Thiem Park, Ba Son Bridge, Thu Thiem Bridge, and Landmark 81 – thereby appreciating the beauty of a youthful, modern, and ever-evolving Saigon.

As night falls, the lights from the bridges and buildings reflect on the water, creating a dazzling and vibrant picture, making the journey on Elite of Saigon a natural light show in the city's heart.

The menu on the cruise is richly designed, combining Vietnamese and international cuisine. Diners can enjoy dishes like salmon sashimi and tuna.

The main hall features food islands for guests (buffet).

This is also part of Aclass Group's long-term plan – to create a chain of luxury cruises stretching from Ha Long – Da Nang – Ho Chi Minh City, aiming to elevate Vietnam's river tourism to a regional level.

Accompanying Ho Chi Minh City's tourism in the integration era

Many travel companies have included Elite of Saigon in the “Saigon River Experience” tour program, introducing it to domestic and international tourists as a destination that combines cuisine, culture, and modern lifestyle.

Elite of Saigon enhances the quality of river tourism and partners with the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association to promote the city's modern, attractive image, rich in Vietnamese identity, to the world.
