About the Dragon Eyes Cruise

Launched in 2009, this intimate boat features a shallow, slender hull, allowing it to access waterways that larger ships cannot, providing guests with a truly immersive exploration of the region.

The vessel spans two thoughtfully arranged decks, offering around 100 square meters of space for guests to enjoy. The interiors and furnishings are crafted from tropical woods, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that reflects local artistry.

The upper deck serves as the social heart of the cruise, featuring a covered dining area and a small bar. Here, guests can savor freshly prepared meals while enjoying continuous scenic views. The sundeck offers an open-air space for relaxation, perfect for watching the river scenery pass by or enjoying a drink.
