Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam! The NCL Spirit is docked about an hour and a half away at the Phu My port in Vietnam, so the only way to really get to the city is to book an excursion. I booked a full day tour called Saigon Highlights. The day was packed with many stops including a visit to the Reunification Palace (aka Independence Palace), a laquer workshop, Post Office, Notre Dame, the final helicopter rescue location at the end of the Vietnam War, Chinatown, and a few hours in between to explore on our own! It was an absolutely *packed* day but also quite a bit of time on the bus. I tell you my thoughts at the end of the video! This is the second to last port of this amazing 14-day Southeast Asia cruise on the Norwegian Spirit - next up is Singapore and disembarkation!
