After breakfast, visit the War Museum and the Reunification Palace, whose gates were famously breached by tanks in April 1975. Then transfer to Saigon Port where the Scenic Spirit awaits.

Step ashore at Wat Hanchey, an ancient hilltop pagoda offering some of the finest elevated river views of the entire journey. Scenic Enrich: Receive a traditional blessing from a resident monk, learn to pray within the pagoda, and participate in the alms ceremony - a contribution to the daily sustenance of the monks and a quietly profound experience. Scenic Freechoice: The afternoon brings Scenic Freechoice around Kampong Cham: the mountaintop pagoda of Phnom Pros with its blend of legend and difficult history; the layered temples of Wat Nokor Bachey; a drive through colonial shop houses, a French-established rubber plantation, and a betel nut village; or a crossing to the remote Koh Pen Village on Pen Island by bamboo bridge.
