During dinner, relax and enjoy the onboard atmosphere. Depending on the vessel's scheduled program, live music or other entertainment may also be available throughout the evening.

As midnight approaches, find a comfortable viewing spot on board and get ready to welcome the New Year.

At 12:00 AM, enjoy views of the scheduled New Year's Eve fireworks from the riverside and celebrate the start of the New Year in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
