What To Expect
Start with pickup at your Ho Chi Minh City port (contact local operator following booking to confirm departure time). Transfer to a water puppet show, where you'll see lacquered wood puppets dance on a water "stage", accompanied by songs from a Vietnamese choir and orchestra. It's easy to follow the storylines, which are often humorous, and depict rural Vietnamese life and folklore in vivid colors. Following the water puppet show, transfer to the wharf for a dinner cruise along the Saigon River. As you dine, a troupe of Vietnamese folk singers will offer a different take on traditional music - it's a world away from the more formal music at the water puppet show. Enjoy views of Ho Chi Minh City's colorful skyline from the water, and watch for the small fishing boats that navigate along the shore. Return to shore after dinner, then finish the night with drop-off at your cruise port.
