Check-in is available during the published departure window, and we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before sailing to avoid missing the boat. Once onboard, settle into your seats (or VIP room if selected), enjoy a welcome drink, and get ready for a relaxing evening on the river. Late arrivals and no-shows are non-refundable, so please plan extra time for traffic and finding the pier inside ICONSIAM.

This is a view-only pass-by from the boat.
