Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

March 12, 2025, South China Sea ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

Docked at HCMC around noon on the 12th. Azamara is a small ship, allowing us to cruise up the 40km channel and dock just minutes from the city centre.

Day 1: In Ho Chi Minh City (now known as HCMC but as Saigon prior to the end of the Vietnam War), we ventured into the city centre, walked around to see some sights, got caught in a rainstorm and sought refuge in a foot massage salon! Jen & I enjoyed the AzaMazing cultural event held off site that night while the boys caught up on more sleep!

Day 2 was a wonderful 7hr trip exploring the Mekong Delta.

We Left HCMC at dusk and are now heading to DeNang, Vietnam.Read more
