Visitor tips
- 1-hour panorama cruise: The day city sightseeing cruises are available from 10:30am to 6:30pm. There are 6 departures in a day. If you pre-book tickets, you can choose your desired time slot. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your cruise departs to avoid last-minute rushing and settle in comfortably.
- 2-hour evening cruise with live DJs: The evening sightseeing cruises are only available at 8pm.
- Best time of the year: The summer months, June to August, are the busiest time of the year. Most school and college students, including families, take advantage of the summer holidays and plan to cruise around the city. The spring and fall months are slightly more manageable. If you do not mind the harsh winters, you can opt for the November-December cruises. There will be fewer tourists and you may also receive discounts and reduced prices.
- Best time of the week: Weekends are comparatively more crowded than weekdays. Parking is especially limited outside the KD Ticketing Office on weekends. We recommend using public transportation to avoid parking hassles if you choose to cruise over the weekend.
