Day 82 - March 27, 2026 - Phuoc An Port, Vietnam - Tour to Ho Chi Ming City, commonly referrred to as Saigon

HAL tour "Saigon & Beyond: A Journey by Land & Water" with Cruise Specialist

Former Presidential Palace is now known as Independence Palace. This historic building was made famous when a North Vietnamese tank

crashed through its front gates in 1975, signaling the end of the Vietnam War. It has changed little since that time and is now retained as a museum.

The tour included a visit to the reception and dining rooms of the President’s quarters, the basement with its ancient American-made telecommunications equipment still in place, and strategic military maps lining the walls.
