Cruise Lines To Ho Chi Minh City Shore Excursions:
You should be able to examine the excursions accessible through your cruise operator at least 90 days before your ship departs after booking a vacation. You can usually review and book these using their online cruise personalizer tool, or in certain cases (especially for high-end luxury cruises) through your travel agent. The online tools will clarify the substance of the experience, rank it by activity level, highlight who the tours are most suited for, and provide the tour length and cost.
The cruise line will have evaluated the shore excursions for dependability, safety, and popularity with its passengers. In addition to the tour guide, each cruise line often sends one of their onboard crew members to accompany you. Even if they are delayed, the ship will wait until these groups return before departing. While cruise line shore excursions can be more expensive than independent operators, many tourists value the peace of mind and ease of use that a cruise line excursion provides.
First and foremost, please provide us with your cruise's name and number, the arrival time at the dock, and the return time to your cruise shore excursions. Please also provide your full name and phone number so we can reach you more easily.

1/ Ho Chi Minh City Highlights Tour:
Our skilled English-speaking tour guide will meet you outside Phu My Port. Then, we begin our shore excursions in Ho Chi Minh City. Our expert driver and English-speaking guide will take you to Ho Chi Minh City Center (about 1.5 hours) to explore the following landmarks.
Firstly, our driver and outstanding tour guide will take you to the Independence Palace, commonly known as the Presidential Palace. Your excursion will begin at the Reunification seat, the former presidential seat of the Republic of Vietnam. The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975, when a North Vietnamese Army tank collided with the main gate.
In addition to a command bunker, it features secret chambers, lush gardens, and antique furnishings. Furthermore, it is still utilized to host major events in Ho Chi Minh City, such as APEC summits.
We'll continue our Phu My beach excursion tour by seeing the Notre Dame Cathedral. In the late 1880s, French colonists built the Notre Dame Cathedral in Saigon. Furthermore, it is one of the few surviving Catholic strongholds in Vietnam, which is mostly Buddhist.
They christened it Notre Dame after erecting the statue "Peaceful Notre Dame" in Paris Square in 1959. In 1962, the Vatican elevated the Cathedral to the status of basilica, naming it Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. The cathedral is approximately 60 meters high. Furthermore, it has distinct neo-Romanesque traits, such as the all-red brick façade imported from Marseille.
Furthermore, it is located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City District 1 and features stained glass windows. It also contains two bell towers with six bronze bells that continue to sound today, as well as a serene garden setting.
Next, we will visit The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is a well-preserved remnant from French colonial days. It is perhaps the largest post office in Southeast Asia.
Furthermore, it is next to the Notre Dame Cathedral. By seeing these cultural sites together, visitors may gain a sense of life in Vietnam during the Indochinese Empire era. Alfred Foulhoux designed the structure, which has arched windows and wooden shutters. It is similar to its affluent period in the late nineteenth century.
To continue your private shore trip, we will visit the Jade Emperor Pagoda. The Emperor Jade Pagoda, commonly known as the Tortoise Pagoda, is one of Ho Chi Minh City's five most notable pagodas.
The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City first welcomed visitors in 1975. It was previously known as the "Museum of American War Crimes," and it serves as a somber reminder of the lengthy and horrific Vietnam War. This museum exhibits gruesome images as well as American military weapons.
In addition, there is a helicopter with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter aircraft, and a single-seat attack plane. In addition, you may see a conventional bomb weighing 6,800 kg. From 1945 until 1975, American soldiers used these weapons to attack Vietnam.
Is there anything else included with this private shore excursion? On this shore trip, we will visit Ben Thanh Market. Ben Thanh Market, located in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1, is a great place to buy local handicrafts, branded products, Vietnamese art, and souvenirs.
Inside the market, you'll find food stalls where you can enjoy hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or simply relax with a refreshing drink. What's more, it's fantastic to savor the natives' delicious food while seeing their daily life.

The Cu Chi Tunnel full-day trip brings you to the top features of Saigon, including historic structures like Independence Palace and the huge Cu Chi Tunnel network. This day tour allows travelers, particularly those with limited time, to see the highlights of Saigon's sites.
At 07:30, our experienced tour guide and private automobile will take you up at the Phu My Port Exit Gate. Following pleasantries and a brief introduction, our tour guide will begin the morning excursion with the Cu Chi tunnels. Your crew will be transported from Ho Chi Minh City to the Cu Chi Tunnels by private automobile. It is 115 kilometers away and takes three hours to arrive.
You will learn about the building and operation of the Cu Chi Tunnel, as well as how people survived the brutal conflict.
Following that, you will enter the tunnel and experience it yourself. Our tour guide will walk you down tight alleyways to modest living areas, kitchens, armament manufacturers, command centers, storage facilities, hospitals, and so on.
In addition to investigating the construction of this 250-kilometer tunnel system, you may learn about its history and stories along the route.
If time permits, our tour guide can give you some free time to explore the complex on your own. For example, you can participate in gun shooting, riding, and other activities.
Later, you will eat a lovely lunch at a local restaurant before continuing with the afternoon tour.
3/ Vung Tau Highlights From Phu My Port:
Vung Tau Shore Excursion is the ideal excursion among Vietnam Shore Excursions. This is the greatest option for people who want to get away from it all and immerse themselves in the gorgeous beach and local culture.
You may take a Best of Vung Tau Private Tour - Shore Excursion in Vung Tau City with our experienced English-speaking guide and driver. Our driver will take you to several of Vung Tau Beach's (Phu My Port) must-see attractions.
All of our Vung Tau - Sightseeing Tours & Activities last roughly 8 hours or are adaptable based on your schedule. We always ensure that you return on time to the cruise ship at the end of your shore private excursion.
As you are aware, Vung Tau was known as Cap Saint-Jacques during the French colony. It is 40 km from Phu My Port. Vung Tau Beach is one of the most famous tourist sites, with golden sandy beaches and clear, mild blue water all year.
This tour will provide you with insight into Vietnamese war history by visiting the Long Phuoc Tunnel. This tunnel is a historical battle relic from the French and American Wars. As a result, you will be able to appreciate both a one-of-a-kind work and a heroic relic of the Vietnamese army and population throughout two resistance battles against the French and Americans.
Next, we visit the Christ the King Statue, which is a must-see on the Vung Tau Shore Excursion. Furthermore, it is considered one of the most prominent Vung Tau emblems in Vietnam.
In addition, the statue of Christ the King may be seen from every direction in the city. However, the ideal approach to admire Christ the King is to ascend to the top of Little Mountain and see the statue. Then, ascend to the observatory in the statue to get a panoramic view of the city and surrounding waters.
Furthermore, Christ the King is situated on the summit. As a result, getting to this monument is challenging, particularly for the elderly and those in poor health. As a result, you should pack water and go early in the morning, rather than around midday, when it is quite hot.
We'll continue by going to the White home (the summer home of Vietnam's last Emperor, Bao Dai). We say this because it was once a hideaway for French Governor-General Paul Doumer but was subsequently used to house the patriotic King of Vietnam, King Thanh Thai. This location provides a lovely perspective; from here, you may appreciate and absorb the breathtaking beauty of the coastline and Vung Tau City.
