The Okura Prestige Bangkok hotel has launched its Okura Cruise programme for Christmas and New Year 2026 on the Chao Phraya River, serving Japanese dinners in both kaiseki and teppanyaki styles on 24 and 25 December, as well as on New Year's Eve, 31 December. Prices start at 2,250 baht per person. The cruise is suited to couples, families and travellers looking for a festive activity in the atmosphere of the river at night.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner
On the evenings of 24 and 25 December 2026, Okura Cruise serves dinner on the Chao Phraya River, giving guests views of Bangkok at night during the cruise. The boat departs at 19:15 and returns to the pier at 22:15. Guests can choose between the Christmas Kaiseki Dinner, which focuses on seasonal ingredients and carefully presented dishes, or the Christmas Teppanyaki Dinner, cooked fresh on the griddle in front of guests throughout the meal.
New Year's Eve cruise: two sittings to choose from
On the evening of 31 December 2026, Okura Cruise departs from Asiatique The Riverfront and heads towards Rama VIII Bridge, with two sittings: the Sunset Round, which offers the sight of the sun setting over the water, and the midnight Fireworks Round, where guests can watch the New Year fireworks display from the boat's upper deck. Both sittings offer a choice of kaiseki or teppanyaki menus, as during the Christmas period.
