This Phu My port shore excursion gives cruise passengers a full day in Ho Chi Minh City without worrying about the logistics. Your guide meets you early at Phu My Port, and a private car with driver covers the drive into the city, about two hours each way, then brings you back to the port between 15:45 and 17:30.
The day mixes the city’s modern history with its daily life. You walk through the Reunification Palace, down to the command bunker and up to the rooftop helipad, then spend time at the War Remnants Museum. After a southern-style lunch, the guide takes you to Notre-Dame Cathedral, the French-era Central Post Office and Ben Thanh Market. More ideas for a longer stay are in our guide to what to do in Ho Chi Minh City.
