Melaka River Cruise

45-minute Melaka River Cruise

This 45-minute boat ride cruising along the historic Melaka River moves at a peaceful pace, allowing you to admire the breathtaking views of Melaka
Contrary to what it was before as a vital trade route or a front to fend off invaders, the Melaka River is now perfect for peaceful cruises
Take the Melaka River cruise, escape from the landlocked crowd, and see things from a different perspective as you float along
Even before the beginning of the Melaka Sultanate in the 15th century, and through the years of foreign rule that occurred centuries after, the Melaka River flowed. It was there when the Portuguese built the A Famosa fort in 1511, when the Dutch erected the Stadthuys in 1888, and when the Japanese invaded Malaya in the Second World War. The Melaka River was there to witness Independence from the British.

Enjoy a different perspective over Melaka's iconic bridges, and admire the aesthetic wall murals and historical landmarks of different eras. This Melaka River cruise is a worthwhile trip for anyone visiting the historic city of Melaka, and is popular with both local and international tourists.
