The story of the Melaka River cruise
The Melaka River was once the lifeline of the Malacca Sultanate, crowded with ships from China, India and Arabia. Restored in the 2000s, its banks now have walking paths, cafés and colourful murals on old buildings.
The cruise passes riverside warehouses, bridges and Kampung Morten, a traditional Malay village of wooden stilt houses. At night, lights and lanterns reflect in the water.
