A re-creation of an Indochinese river vessel - one of a kind
River cruising at its best
The ship will be another milestone in Ho Chi Minh’s river cruise scene. “We will infuse the same culture of excellence into the new Bonsai, capping it with an excellent dining experience”.
The new boat will be named “BONSAI Legacy” with a capacity of up to 200 patrons. A main deck for live entertainment, interactive cooking stations & buffet dinner with signature dishes, dancing and mingling. The upper deck will be the perfect getaway for those seeking a romantic night out. The Bonsai Legacy will also boast a private lounge, complete with an alfresco terrace.
“Our dinner cruises in the past were known for their entertainment, experience and cuisine and our new concept will be all of these and more. The interactive buffet menu will include signature dishes, local fresh produce and organic elements".
Past & Present
A new business partnership, led by the former management and co-founder of Bonsai Cruise and Artisan Cruise, will launch a new dinner cruise ship in Saigon. Unfazed by the damage of the two dinner cruise boats, which were struck by a cruise liner in January 2015, the owners of the newly formed company are gunning for a launch date of April 2017. “We are in the midst of building a brand new Indochinese-contemporary boat. It will be one of a kind".
Industry insiders say that the boats were renowned in Saigon amongst the corporate companies, foreign tourists, local guests and tour operators.
"We are given time to conjure creative designs and contemporary Asian cuisine". "More importantly, we had the time to learn, improve and come-up with an even better product in order to strive for excellence”.
