Highlights

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.
