<span>On arrival to Saigon (Nha Rong port), disembark the ship and meet your guide. Drive 20 minutes to Ben Thanh market to buy all the fresh ingredients before continuing an historic Ambassador&#39;s home for a private hands-on cooking demonstration.

Half-Day Saigon: Culinary Experience at Former Ambassador's Residence (4 hours)
<span>On arrival to Saigon (Nha Rong port), disembark the ship and meet your guide. Drive 20 minutes to Ben Thanh market to buy all the fresh ingredients before continuing an historic Ambassador&#39;s home for a private hands-on cooking demonstration. The American Ambassador to South Vietnam in the 1960s, Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, carried a mission of overthrowing the southern government at that time. When Lodge arrived in Saigon, an old villa in District 3 was converted into the Ambassador&rsquo;s residence. Mr. Lodge lived in this home between1960-1965 and the architecture is a mix of Vietnamese, French and American. Today it remains a private residence owned by Trails of Indochina and it has been fully restored to its former glory. The guide will provide an orientation tour of the house while the chef prepares the ingredients. Learn typical Southern style dishes throughout the morning. The chef will show you how to serve each dish before the meal, and you will need to master the chopsticks before you can savor your own culinary creations in the old world ambiance of the villa.</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span>After lunch, transfer back to your ship.</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <em><u><span>Note:</span></u></em><em><span> There is an extra charge for the transfer at the other ports.</span></em><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <strong><span>Meal: Lunch</span></strong><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <strong><u><span>TOUR INCLUSIONS</span></u></strong>&#x0D; <table border="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="">&#x0D; <tbody>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><strong><span>Inclusive of:</span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span>Non-inclusive of:</span></strong></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Private transfers and transportation on tour</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Sightseeing with Local English speaking guides</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Lunch</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Entrance fees and boat rides if any</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Cold towels and water on sightseeing days</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Welcome pack</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Dock permit</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Tips &amp; gratuities</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</td>&#x0D; <td><span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Vietnam visa</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Accommodation on board</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>All meals where not mentioned in the program</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Drinks/water at included lunches and dinners</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>All flights &amp; airport taxes</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Hotel early check in/ Late check out</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Overweight luggage</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Personal expenses</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Travel insurance</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Other services not listed in inclusive column</span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; </tbody>&#x0D; </table>&#x0D;

Take a walk upstairs to learn more about the history through the family&rsquo;s photo collection.&nbsp; Then drive back to the port to embark the ship.</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <em><u><span><span>NOTES:</span></span></u></em><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><em><span><span>&nbsp;There is an extra charge for the transfer at the other ports.</span></span></em><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><em><span><span>Total duration: 05 hours</span></span></em><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <strong><span>Meals: None</span></strong><br />&#x0D; <strong><u><span>TOUR INCLUSIONS</span></u></strong>&#x0D; <table border="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="">&#x0D; <tbody>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><strong><span>Inclusive of:</span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span>Non-inclusive of:</span></strong></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Private transfers and transportation on tour</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Sightseeing with Local English speaking guides</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Entrance fees and boat rides if any</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Cold towels and water on sightseeing days</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Welcome pack</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Dock permit</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Tips &amp; gratuities</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</td>&#x0D; <td><span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Vietnam visa</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Accommodation on board</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>All meals where not mentioned in the program</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Drinks/water at included lunches and dinners</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>All flights &amp; airport taxes</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Hotel early check in/ Late check out</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Overweight luggage</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Personal expenses</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Travel insurance</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Other services not listed in inclusive column</span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; </tbody>&#x0D; </table>&#x0D;
Half-Day Saigon: Culinary Experience at Former Ambassador's Residence (4 hours)
<span>On arrival to Saigon (Nha Rong port), disembark the ship and meet your guide. Drive 20 minutes to Ben Thanh market to buy all the fresh ingredients before continuing an historic Ambassador&#39;s home for a private hands-on cooking demonstration. The American Ambassador to South Vietnam in the 1960s, Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge, carried a mission of overthrowing the southern government at that time. When Lodge arrived in Saigon, an old villa in District 3 was converted into the Ambassador&rsquo;s residence. Mr. Lodge lived in this home between1960-1965 and the architecture is a mix of Vietnamese, French and American. Today it remains a private residence owned by Trails of Indochina and it has been fully restored to its former glory. The guide will provide an orientation tour of the house while the chef prepares the ingredients. Learn typical Southern style dishes throughout the morning. The chef will show you how to serve each dish before the meal, and you will need to master the chopsticks before you can savor your own culinary creations in the old world ambiance of the villa.</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span>After lunch, transfer back to your ship.</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <em><u><span>Note:</span></u></em><em><span> There is an extra charge for the transfer at the other ports.</span></em><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <strong><span>Meal: Lunch</span></strong><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <strong><u><span>TOUR INCLUSIONS</span></u></strong>&#x0D; <table border="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="">&#x0D; <tbody>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><strong><span>Inclusive of:</span></strong></td>&#x0D; <td><strong><span>Non-inclusive of:</span></strong></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; <tr>&#x0D; <td><span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Private transfers and transportation on tour</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Sightseeing with Local English speaking guides</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Lunch</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Entrance fees and boat rides if any</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Cold towels and water on sightseeing days</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Welcome pack</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Dock permit</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Tips &amp; gratuities</span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;</td>&#x0D; <td><span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Vietnam visa</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Accommodation on board</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>All meals where not mentioned in the program</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Drinks/water at included lunches and dinners</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>All flights &amp; airport taxes</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Hotel early check in/ Late check out</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Overweight luggage</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Personal expenses</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Travel insurance</span><br />&#x0D; <span>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>Other services not listed in inclusive column</span></td>&#x0D; </tr>&#x0D; </tbody>&#x0D; </table>&#x0D;
