Why we recommend it
E-Land Cruise operates sightseeing and dining cruises on the Han River, the broad river that divides Seoul into north and south. Its boats leave from the ferry terminal in Yeouido Hangang Park, the riverside park beside the island's financial district, and a cruise is one of the most relaxing ways to see the scale of the city, with its long bridges, riverside parks and towers rising on both banks.
The company offers several types of cruise. Alongside shorter sightseeing sailings, the Sunset Dinner Cruise, aboard the vessel Tritania, lasts about 90 minutes and sails from Yeouido up to Seogang Bridge and back as the light fades. Dinner cruises have standard and window seating, and a Moonlight Dinner Cruise runs later in the evening. The operator also sells packages that combine the Hangang Story Cruise with Aqua Planet 63 and the art gallery in the nearby 63 Square tower.
The sunset dinner cruise sails on a set number of days each week, which change with the season, so check the current schedule before planning your evening. Sunset is not guaranteed, as the time of sunset varies through the year. Cruises generally run in rain but can be cancelled in strong winds, and routes may change for festivals, such as the Seoul International Fireworks Festival in autumn, when special cruises are offered.
A river cruise suits couples, families and older travellers, and it is a good way to rest your legs after a day of walking. Bring a jacket, as it is cooler on the water, especially on the open decks. Arrive at least 20 minutes before departure, as cruises leave on time and do not wait for late passengers, and bring photo identification to collect tickets booked online. Cancellation terms vary by booking channel, so read them before you pay.
To reach the terminal, take Line 5 to Yeouinaru Station, leave by Exit 3 and walk about 500 metres along the river towards the 63 Building. Yeouido Hangang Park is popular for cycling, picnics and the spring cherry blossom along Yunjung-ro, and The Hyundai Seoul department store and the National Assembly are nearby.
