Depending on the cruise type, durations vary slightly:
Both weekday and weekend cruises are available, but the vibe differs:
With only one in the city, and according to its high quality and outstanding services, Poseidon Cruise is a standout among other Da Nang river cruise options. With indoor dining, upper deck lounge area, and a delicious buffet menu featuring locally-inspired and international selections of food, you will spend less time choosing and more time relaxing onboard. Even better, on some nights, a live DJ spins soothing or upbeat sounds.

This cruise is perfect for families with young kids or elderly relatives, as it offers air-conditioned indoor dining with big river-facing windows.

Want to feel as if you could be sailing back in time? Dragon Cruise is a wooden Han River Cruise offering a chartered ride down the Han River with classic Vietnamese styles, including traditionally costumed staff and a genuinely local rhythm. This is a much more culturally aesthetic cruise, not so much the modern entertainment type.

The Cham Apsara dance is a standout of a Han River cruise Danang. This classical show is the beautiful embodiment of centuries of Central Vietnam culture, with beautifully dressed dancers performing to ancient beats.
It’s often described by guests as a stirring, peaceful “cultural moment,” and meaningful and beautifully set against the light waves of the river.

The onboard entertainment isn’t just traditional. Some cruises offer live acoustic music, violinists, or professional DJs for company. One night, it may be smooth jazz or gentle guitar playing; another, it might be uptempo lounge music or chill-out thump from the DJ booth.
This mix of modern and grassroots music keeps the vibe fresh, fun, and alive for everyone, whether an intimate couple or a pack group.

Legend has it that burning with fire instead of smoke allows the dragon to become flesh, so at 9:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday night, at weekends, you can watch the spectacle known as the “fire-breathing dragon” or seemingly mythical “rain control dragon” in action. You’ll have a prime front-row spot from the deck of your boat, with no crowds along the banks.
The dragon bridge fire show is one of Da Nang’s top evening things to do, and a river cruise Da Nang providers offer shows the best views of the glowing spectacle! This is one of the primary reasons why tourists purchasing cruises to Da Nang have a wide range of options for cruising on weekend evenings.
Have a birthday, proposal, or company event on your agenda? And you can even book a private Han River Cruise with galas such as MCs, live singers, themed decorations, or performances created just for your team.

The river at night is a photographer’s dream. The city lights, lit up bridges, and cultural performances are quite a sight. And with the still water as your canvas, every picture is worth a thousand words.
Photography tip: Arrive early and select an upper-deck seat so you can spread out and get clear, wide views of Da Nang nightlife and the Dragon Bridge fire show.
In Da Nang, the sky blazes with colour for the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF), which runs each Saturday from 31 May to 5 July 2025. On those nights, Han River cruise Danang operators offer special fireworks packages to get the best from the river views of the light displays.
