Han River E-Land Cruise

A few weeks ago, James surprised me with a cruise on the Han River in Seoul. There were several cruise boats on the river lit up with twinkle lights. We had reservations on the dinner cruise and were seated on the top floor. There was a band playing soothing Jazz music and later a Jazz singer joined in and sang American Jazz music.


The buffet had a vast array of food, from Korean to American. Everything was delicious.



 While eating, we enjoyed looking at all the beautifully lit skyscrapers and buildings along the river. We arrived at the bridge where we were moved outside to watch the light show. (I was not too impressed by this since it was just water shooting out of the bridge with lights shining behind it.)





 At the end of the cruise we watched a fireworks show that blew us away. Korea really knows how to put on a show.





Would I bring the kids next time? Yes and no. Yes, I would bring them to see the light show and the fireworks show but on another boat that didn't have dinner included since it would cost a lot less won. I would not take them on the dinner boat with the price of the buffet being so high. It's hard to pay an expensive bill when picky eaters don't eat any of their food. James and I would love to go back on a second date here. It was very romantic. Tip-Bring a jacket. Being on the river at night can be a little chilly. Or don't bring a jacket and use that as an excuse to cuddle up to your significant other for even more fireworks.
