For cruises calling at Ho Chi Minh City, an important planning distinction is that the city name and the port of call do not necessarily refer to the same place. Depending on the call, the ship may dock at Phu My outside the city or at a berth operated by Saigon Port. The exact port listed in your travel documents determines what to expect for your shore visit or an extended stay in the city.
Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City
Phu My is a departure point for excursions to Ho Chi Minh City; the journey from the port to the metropolis is part of the day’s planning. The port of call therefore determines whether traveling from the port into the city takes up a significant part of your time ashore.
Planning your time ashore
If you plan to visit Ho Chi Minh City, base your plans on the confirmed berth. Coordinate your meeting point, return journey and available time in port before planning any additional destinations.
