The Melaka River and Coastal Development Corporation (PPSPM) founded and currently operates the Melaka River Cruise.
We wanted to provide local and international travellers an opportunity to enjoy an overview of Melaka’s spectacular heritage, culture and creative spectrum; with a relaxing river cruise.
This section of the Melaka River is embued with history, as it was a former hub of essential river transportation for trade and commercial goods in days gone by. We strive to provide a 360 degree immersive experience for everyone onboard.
From the moment we gave Melaka River a facelift to make way for the river cruise to the influx of travellers that we service daily, we consistently practice our sustainability-focused values to ensure that our river cruise sync in harmony with the Melaka River’s ecosystem.
We allocate a certain percentage of ticket sales for river maintenance and also to the improvement of our river cruise facilities.
Our operation hours are from 9.00am to 11.30pm, Monday to Sunday.
We are open daily from Monday to Sunday, including Public and School Holidays.
The river cruise is a 45-minute round-trip and covers 9 kilometres.
Although we do not have a dress code policy, it is advisable to wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes to make it easier for you to embark and disembark the river cruise boats.
We recommend bottled water for you to rehydrate and to ensure your comfort, as well as the comfort of other passengers who would be joining you on the cruise. We would like everyone to have a wonderful river cruise experience.
We ensure that our river cruise is suited for families and children, as long as kids under 12 are properly chaperoned by an adult.
The Melaka River’s waters are calm and still and ensures a comfortable journey for our passengers. We advise you to take precautionary measures if you are sensitive to motion sickness
