What you can expect
After being collected for your cruise terminal, you will set-off to discover the incredible network of war bunkers known as the Cu Chi Tunnels. These networks are a reminder of the ingenious designs required to survive in these tight-squeezing tunnels during war-torn times. Opt to crawl through the 100-meter tunnels to get a feel for what the soldiers had to endure, or simply walk around the scenic site, taking in the historical and cultural importance of this war remnant. Discover the kitchens hidden around the tunnels, and sample the food the Viet Cong ate during the war. Nowadays the tunnels have been widened slightly for tourists, so it won’t be so much of a squeeze!
Next, we make our way to a rubber tapping facility where we will learn how latex is extracted from a rubber tree. Vietnam is the world’s third-biggest natural rubber producer, and this stop offers a fantastic insight into the process! We will make a short stop to sample a traditional lunch of Pho or Banh Mi.
Following lunch, you will visit the War Remnants Museum, a shocking exhibit of the horrors of war. This war museum shows the devastating effects of war on the civilian population. The museum is a favourite with tourists, as it offers never-before-seen material and an entirely alternative perspective. The Requiem Gallery is the gem of this museum, where you can see historic photos taken by famed international war-photographers such as Tim Page or Larry Burrows. Although sometimes upsetting, the display is essential for understanding the horrors of the Vietnam War, and also the endurance and perseverance of a nation. Following this harrowing experience, you will be returned comfortably to your cruise ship port with ample time before your ship's departure.
