Itinerary
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Vietnamese water puppetry. This unique art form, deeply rooted in the spiritual traditions of Vietnam, comes to life before your eyes in a mesmerizing aquatic theatre. Watch in wonder as skilled puppeteers, hidden behind a screen, manipulate wooden puppets using long bamboo rods and intricate string mechanisms beneath the water's surface. As the puppets dance across their liquid stage, you'll be treated to the melodious sounds of a traditional Vietnamese orchestra. The air fills with the soulful vocals of singers from North Vietnam, their lyrics weaving tales of rural life and ancient legends. Though performed in Vietnamese, the visual spectacle transcends language barriers, offering an hour of colorful entertainment that provides a window into Vietnam's rich cultural heritage
From the deck of your cruise boat, witness Saigon's transformation as day turns to night. The city comes alive with twinkling lights, its landmarks illuminated against the dark sky. This unique vantage point offers unparalleled views of iconic structures and the bustling waterfront, painting a picture of a city where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony.

The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
