North Borneo Cruises - Kota Kinabalu

Updated: Jul 12

Discover the majestic charm of Kota Kinabalu from an exceptional vantage point – aboard the North Borneo Cruises. Offering an unforgettable sunset and dinner experience, this cruise stands out as a jewel in Borneo's crown, blending luxury with the captivating beauty of the region.


From the moment we stepped aboard, it was evident that the North Borneo Cruise wasn't just any ordinary boat ride; it was a journey into luxury and scenic wonder. The vessel boasted a sophistication that I had yet to encounter on similar voyages. It was designed impeccably, with spacious decks that featured numerous intimate tables for two, perfect for those looking to soak in the sunset.

As the evening sky painted with colours, we were treated to a buffet that was nothing short of a gastronomical adventure. The spread included an array of local cuisine, each transporting us deeper into the heart of Malaysian flavours. From succulent meats to rich, aromatic side dishes, the culinary offerings were a testament to the region's diverse food heritage. To complement our meal, we selected a bottle of premium Italian wine, which was surprisingly affordable and added a touch of sophistication to our dining experience.


The musical selection was a perfect backdrop to the evening's festivities, with great hits that had us singing along. A special nod went out to the token two Aussies onboard (my husband and I), including Men at Work, making the experience uniquely tailored and memorable.


As the cruise drew to a close and the coastline of Kota Kinabalu lit up the night, it was clear that our evening with North Borneo Cruises was not just about the places we sailed past; it was about embracing an ambience that couldn't be found anywhere else.
