Next Stop: Saigon! Robin’s on a Roll
Last week, she was gliding through emerald waters and discovering hidden temples—this week, it’s all about the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City. The adventure continues, and the next stop is a perfect mix of city thrills and Mekong serenity.
Stay in Style
Docking in Saigon calls for a stay that’s just as dynamic as the city itself. Renaissance Riverside Saigon sits right along the Saigon River offering 336 rooms and suites, a rooftop pool with skyline views, and an exclusive club lounge to recharge in style. Start your day at Viet Kitchen, unwind at Rbar, and soak in the energy of Vietnam’s most exciting metropolis. In the evening, head up to the Atrium Lounge for a craft cocktail.
City Adventures
Saigon is a fusion of old and new, and a guided city tour is the best way to take it all in. From the storied halls of the Reunification Palace to the French colonial charm of the Saigon Opera House and Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, history is everywhere. Don’t miss the bustling aisles of Chợ Bến Thành Market or the moving exhibits at the War Remnants Museum.
But for a hidden gem?
Seek out the Secret Garden Restaurant, a rooftop haven tucked away in a nondescript alley where lantern-lit ambiance transport you to another time.
Mekong Escape
After the city’s rush, a tranquil cruise along the Mekong Delta awaits. Aboard the Cai Be Princess, glide past floating markets, stilted villages, and lush rice paddies. Taste tropical fruits, meet local artisans, and soak in the timeless rhythms of river life.
For an even deeper dive, stop at a family-run coconut candy workshop or visit a traditional home for a cup of honey tea and a glimpse into local life. It’s a side of Vietnam that moves at its own pace, inviting you to slow down and take it all in.
Robin’s journey keeps moving, and so should yours. Where will you explore next?
