Highlights
Step into Vietnam’s rich cultural past with an enchanting Water Puppet Show at the Labor Culture House. This traditional art form, which originated in the Red River Delta during the 10th century, was once performed by farmers in rice paddies after harvest. The puppets, dancing atop water to the sounds of live traditional music, tell ancient folk tales in a uniquely Vietnamese way.
After the show, your evening continues with a relaxing drive to the Saigon River, where you'll board a charming cruise boat—either a traditional junk or a modern vessel. As the city’s twinkling skyline comes to life, you'll enjoy a scenic two-hour cruise, soaking in the river breeze and the dazzling views of Ho Chi Minh City's illuminated landmarks.
Your night is capped off with a delicious dinner of local or Western cuisine, served with care onboard. As dessert is served and the boat returns to the dock at 9:30 PM, you’ll be left with unforgettable memories of an evening that perfectly blends Vietnam’s past and present.
