Destination News

Pandaw Cruises – port moves to central Saigon:

From September 2024, all of Pandaw’ s Mekong expeditions will embark and disembark their journeys from the heart of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). This eliminates the need for the previous two-hour bus transfer from My Tho, offering guests a more distinctive and local experience through the historical Cho Gao Canal. Also, all Pandaw cruises will be plastic-free starting September 2024.

Cam Lam – Vinh Hao express way completion:

The last piece of the expressway puzzle connecting Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang was inaugurated in May, cutting travel time between Ho Chi Minh City and the Nha Trang in half, to 5-6 hours.
