Make the most of your day in port with a private shore excursion to Vietnam's former imperial capital. Meet your guide at Chan May Port Gate (or inside the pier if you request a permit in advance) and travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Hue, the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Begin at the Imperial City (Citadel)—Ngọ Môn Gate, Thai Hoa Palace, and the royal courtyards—while your guide brings the emperors' stories to life. Continue to the hilltop Khai Dinh Tomb, famed for its intricate inlaid mosaics and dramatic setting. Stop at Thien Mu Pagoda for sweeping river views and peaceful gardens. Time permitting, enjoy a local Hue lunch (set menu or à la carte; your choice) before the scenic drive back to port.
This itinerary is engineered for cruise schedules and includes a back-to-ship guarantee with ample buffer time. You'll see Hue's must-see landmarks without the stress of logistics.
