Vietnam Cruise
Book NowHo Chi Minh City (Phu My), Vietnam
Formally referred to as Ho Chi Minh City in 1976 to mark Vietnam's reunification, many residents of the nation's largest city still refer to it as Saigon, particularly when discussing the downtown area. Sail to Vietnam to explore the vast, lively city known as HCMC, as it is often called, by heading to Cholon (Chinatown) in District 5 – stroll through its winding streets and charming pagodas and step inside the fragrant Thien Hau Temple. Next, indulge in spicy beef noodles at Ben Thanh market. Check out the enormous dragon rug within Independence Palace, the previous residence of the president of South Vietnam before reunification, or discover more about what the Vietnamese refer to as the American War at the War Remnants Museum.

Escape the Traffic
The one million motorbikes in Saigon create a hectic atmosphere, yet you can find tranquility at the 130-year-old Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Explore the expansive green park featuring bonsai trees and an orchid collection, and visit the elephants and tigers at the zoo.
Architecture Old and New
Visit the highly contemporary Bitexco Tower in District 1, featuring a sky deck and a helipad, or the frequently visited Jade Emperor Pagoda in District 3, which houses a statue of the fertility goddess. Situated in District 1 is the 1975 time capsule of the Reunification Palace, where the Vietnam War concluded when a tank from North Vietnam crashed through its entrance.
LOCAL CUISINE
Sample pho in the origin of the now-famous soup, crafted with a deep, slowly-cooked broth and seasoned with cloves, cardamom, and various spices. While on your cruise in Vietnam, indulge in a banh mi sandwich that combines the French colonial heritage of Vietnam with pork, pickled veggies, and herbs nestled in a crunchy baguette. Or sample banh tam bi, which features thick noodles with pork in a coconut cream sauce.
SHOPPING
Lacquered items, including bowls, trays, and vases, are a favored souvenir in Vietnam. You'll find it all over, but visit the An Dong Market, Binh Tay Market, and Ben Thanh Market. Dong Khoi Street is viewed as the primary shopping avenue, featuring a mall and the Parkson Department Store.
