Planning an evening in Da Nang? This Han River dinner cruise combined with the Tien Sa Show offers a blend of cultural entertainment, beautiful city views, and a relaxed dining experience. While it’s a bit on the pricier side at $131 per person, many find the combination of sights, sounds, and storytelling worth the cost.
What we love about this tour is the chance to enjoy sparkling nighttime views of Da Nang’s bridges and skyline, the traditional folk music performances, and the visual spectacle of the Tien Sa Show — a lively and colorful display inspired by Vietnamese legends. The fresh seasonal fruits served onboard add a lovely touch of local flavor, and the group setting helps foster a cozy, intimate atmosphere.
One consideration to keep in mind is that during busy holidays or peak weekends, the cruise might be fully booked, so planning ahead is recommended. This experience is perfect for those who appreciate cultural performances combined with scenic city views and are looking for a memorable, comfortable night out in Da Nang.

The Itinerary Breakdown
The tour starts at 5:00 pm, typically with a pickup service included, allowing you to relax and avoid the hassle of navigating public transport or parking.
