Namia River Retreat just launched The Merchant River Cruise & Restaurant and it’s set to become one of Hoi An's most distinctive experiences on the water.
Mornings are reserved for wellness and breakfast cruises, midday for private charters for lunches, retreats, and meetings, and evenings for the main event: the signature Dinner Cruise.
Every night the boat departs at sunset for a 2.5-hour journey. It begins with cocktails and canapés on deck while the light changes over Hoi An, followed by a Vietnamese harvest buffet built around Lang Co oysters, seasonal coastal BBQ, and ingredients sourced from local markets and organic farms.
The experience carries the same spirit as The Merchant Restaurant at the property, so it feels like a natural extension of a stay at Namia. Hoi An has a long history as an ancient maritime trading port, and the cruise leans into that with cultural storytelling woven throughout the evening.
The vessel holds up to 90 guests across two floors and can also be chartered privately for special occasions.
