Excursion Good evening, saigon tour at Ho Chi Minh

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Experience an evening of traditional Vietnamese food and cultural entertainment as you bid Saigon a 'good evening'.  

Majestic Hotel

Begin with a transfer to the legendary Majestic Hotel, which, since 1925, has occupied one of the finest locations in Saigon, boasting stunning views of the Saigon River. After you are graciously welcomed by hostesses in traditional dresses, sip pre-dinner cocktails on the hotel's terrace, with its sweeping view of central Saigon.  Both the old world boutique charm of the hotel and the elegance of the columned and arched classical French-colonial design help create a special ambiance for your evening.  

 

The Majestic has gone through several reincarnations over the years, changes that reflect the tumultuous history of Vietnam. During World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army used this French colonial structure as their military barracks. During the Vietnam War, it was frequented by foreign correspondents and espionage agents. Enjoy a special show featuring traditional music, dances, and costumes from the northern and southern regions of Vietnam.  

Mandarin Restaurant

Following the entertainment, proceed to one of the finest Vietnamese restaurants in Saigon to savour a feast of local specialties. All too soon this special evening of Vietnamese culture and tradition comes to a close and your coach returns you to the ship.
