Einzelkabinenzuschlag geschenkt Entdecken Sie Vietnam auf dieser neuen Route von PONANT. Gehen Sie in Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt an Bord der Le Lapérouse zu einer 11-tägigen Kreuzfahrt, auf der Sie prächtige Landschaften und geschichtsträchtige alte Städte entdecken können.
Ihre Reise beginnt in Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt. Das ehemalige Saigon wurde im 17. Jahrhundert in unmittelbarer Nähe des Mekong-Deltas gegründet, eines mythischen Flusses, auf dem sich an den Markttagen kleine bunte Boote drängen.
Le Lapérouse nimmt dann Kurs nach dem lebendigen Urlaubsort Nha Trang mit schönen Stränden in einer Bucht mit türkisblauem Wasser und tropischen Inseln. Doc Let ist ein schöner, etwas abgelegener, von Kokospalmen und einem Kasuarinenwäldchen gesäumter Strand zwischen makellosen Sanddünen.
Dann laufen Sie Quy Nhon an, wo Sie den Gesteinskomplex Ghenh Da Dia entdecken können, der vor 200 Millionen Jahren beim Aufeinandertreffen der Lava mit dem kalten Meereswasser entstand und den Eindruck dicht an dicht nebeneinander aufgehäufter Basaltsäulen erweckt.
Anschließend nimmt die Le Lapérouse Kurs auf Da Nang, eine belebte Stadt, die für ihre fünf „Marmorberge“ und ihre langen Strände bekannt ist. Sie ist das Eintrittstor zu der bezaubernden alten Stadt Hoi An, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehört. Sie entdecken auch die einstige Hauptstadt des Kaiserreichs Vietnam Huê und ihre Mausoleen. Diese architektonischen Juwelen liegen in einer Umgebung von üppigem Grün und sind die Hüter der ehemaligen Herrscher.
Sie fahren weiter nah Hon La. Von dort aus gelangen Sie in den Nationalpark Phong Nha-Ke Bang, der zum UNESCO-Welterbe zählt. Karstlandschaften und üppiger tropischer Regenwald bergen spektakuläre Höhlen und unterirdische Flüsse sowie eine riesige Artenvielfalt mit mehreren seltenen Arten.
Schließlich entdecken Sie die Halong-Bucht. Dieses UNESCO-Weltkulturerbestätte ist ein wahres vietnamnesisches Juwel. Die Schifffahrt zwischen den Kalksäulen, Grotten und Bogen dieses Ortes mit seiner irreal anmutenden Atmosphäre bildet zweifelsohne einen krönenden Moment für Ihre Kreuzfahrt.

In der Nähe des Mekong-Deltas erstreckt sich Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt, die größte Stadt Vietnams. Sie ist dessen historisches Herz und dessen wirtschaftliches Zentrum. Das ehemalige Saigon behauptet sich heute als eine dynamische Metropole mit einer vielversprechenden Zukunft. Sie können hier das berühmte Hauptpostamt und den emblematischen Wiedervereinigungspalast bewundern. Von den 95 Jahren der französischen Kolonialzeit hat die Stadt einige bemerkenswerte Spuren bewahrt, darunter die Kathedrale Notre-Dame mit ihrer neogotischen Fassade aus roten Ziegelsteinen des 19. Jh. Sie fallen unweigerlich unter den Charme dieser lebhaften Stadt voller Kontraste, ganz wie das sehr farbenfrohe Viertel Cholon, das Chinatown von Saigon.

Abfahrt 27.10.2022 am mittleren Nachmittag
Sie erreichen Doc Let, eine kleine Oase der Ruhe fern von der Hektik der Welt. Die entspannende Atmosphäre dieses schönen, 10 km langen Strandes erinnert mit seiner idyllischen Kulisse an die Malediven. Die sanfte Brandung streichelt den weißen Sand und untermalt die zarten Farben der lichtdurchfluteten Küste, die Kokospalmen bieten einen erfrischenden Schatten. Im Schutz der Sanddünen und des Kasuarinenwalds, der die makellose Weite umgibt, fügen sich diese Elemente zu einer herrlichen, unberührten Kulisse zusammen.

Ankunft 28.10.2022 am frühen Vormittag
Abfahrt 28.10.2022 am frühen Nachmittag
Von Ihrem Aufenthalt im Hafen Quy Nhon aus können Sie bei Ghenh Da Dia eine beeindruckende Ansammlung von Basaltfelsen entdecken, die bei einem Vulkanausbruch vor 200 Millionen Jahren entstanden sind. Als die Lavablöcke auf das kalte Wasser trafen, entstanden vollkommen senkrechte, scharfe Risse, die eine Anhäufung von Säulen bildeten, deren Oberfläche beim Abkühlen quadratisch, rund oder sechseckig wurde. Mal senkrecht, mal schräg, stellenweise auf verschiedenen Ebenen, könnten manche Strukturen den Eindruck eines Geschirrstapels erwecken. Sie werden diese erstaunliche Felsformation sicherlich entdecken können, die natürlichen Ursprungs ist und dennoch von Menschenhand perfekt arrangiert scheint.

1. November 2022 Kreuzen in der Halong-Bucht
Ankunft 01.11.2022
Abfahrt 01.11.2022
Die 170 km östlich von Hanoi im Golf von Tonkin gelegene Halong-Bucht ist ein Wunder unter den Wundern. Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die den friedlichen und zugleich geheimnisvollen Geist von Vietnam in sich aufnehmen möchten. Sie haben die Gelegenheit zu einer Fahrt inmitten dieser legendären Naturschönheit, die selbstverständlich zumUNESCO-Weltnaturerbe gehört. Auf fast 1500 Quadratkilometern bietet Ihnen die berühmte Bucht ein geradezu übernatürliches, unendliches Schauspiel von aus dem Wasser hervorragenden gespenstischen Felsspitzen, bizarre Formationen, die im Laufe der Jahrhunderte vom Meer und dem Wind gebildet wurden. Diese fantastische Natur hat eine Myriade von kleinen Buchten, Höhlen und Binnenseen hervorgebracht, deren Anblick Sie genießen können.
2. November 2022 Haiphong
Ankunft 02.11.2022 am frühen Vormittag
Ausschiffung 02.11.2022 um 07:00
An den Ufern des Deltas des Roten Flusses gelegen, zählt Haïphong zu den drei großen Häfen Vietnams. Die moderne und zukunftsorientierte Stadt hat auch eine erzählenswerte Geschichte. Beweise dafür sind ihre ehemalige Kolonialstadt und ihre D? H�ng-Pagode. Sie ist Ihre Tür nach Hanoï, Hauptstadt und Symbol für die antikoloniale Bewegung. Ho Chi Minh erklärte hier im Jahre 1945 die Unabhängigkeit Vietnams. Heute ruht er im Zentrum des Ba Dinh-Platzes im Mausoleum, das die Erinnerung an ihn zelebriert. Bewundern Sie ein paar hundert Meter weiter das schmiedeeiserne Tor des Präsidentenpalastes und die Zierlichkeit der Ein-Säulen-Pagode. Weiter südlich können Sie die Ruhe des Literaturtempels genießen, der dem Konfuzianismus gewidmet ist.
Contrasts of Saigon
4 h 00
From the pier, board your coach for a 50-minute drive to the eastern suburb of Saigon. You will appreciate the quiet, rural area for your first stop.
With your guide, start your visit of the Ao Dai Museum. The ao dai is the Vietnamese national dress, symbol of all the beauty and elegance of Vietnamese women. This dress is for Vietnam what the kimono is for Japan. Enter the peaceful garden and reach the long house where you will discover 3 permanent exhibitions showcasing the history and the variety of ao dai. This atypical museum was dreamed up and created by Sy Hoang, a famous Vietnamese designer who wanted to create a place where visitors could discover the history of Vietnamese clothing and relax in the garden. After the visit, discover, on your own, the charms of the garden, with its ancient wooden architecture, bamboo bridges, rice fields and lotus ponds.
Re-board your coach and head back to Saigon. You will enter the Bitexco Financial Tower and take the elevator to the Skydeck (49th floor). Here you will have the chance to see Saigon from above and take breathtaking photos of the economic capital of Vietnam.
Drive back to the pier.

Authentic Saigon
4 h 30
From the pier, start a panoramic city tour of Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon. A witness to the independence of Vietnam, this city changes as fast as the Vietnamese economy develops. The impressive contrast between the traditional and modernity is an eloquent example of how the Saigonese want to keep their identity despite of globalisation.
During this city tour, including photo stops, you will discover the former Presidential Palace, now known as Reunification Hall. This historic building was made famous when a Vietnamese liberation tank crashed through its front gates on 30 April 1975, signalling the end of the Vietnam War. You will also see the famous Notre Dame Cathedral, a neoclassical structure dating back to the 19th century. On the other side of the square, the Central Post Office proudly shows its colonial style outside, and hides rare ancient maps decorated on the dome inside the building.
Your next visit is the Jade Emperor Pagoda. Built in 1909 in honour of the supreme Taoist god, this temple is a perfect example of a Vietnamese-style religious site. Replete with statues of divinities and heroes, locals celebrate a number of festivities at the pagoda, such as New Year’s, Buddhist and Taoist celebrations.
Then, you will head to the Fito Museum. Even though theirs is a modern society, many Vietnamese still use herbs to heal wounds or treat chronic diseases. You will visit the very interesting Herbal Medicine Museum to see how trees, herbs, and other plants are exploited for medical purposes.
Your last stop will be to Binh Tay Market, in the very heart of Cholon, more commonly known as Chinatown. The streets are full of life and colour, with bargaining being conducted at numerous street stalls.
- This tour involves approximately 0.4 miles (600m) of walking on flat and uneven ground. We recommend you wear light clothes and comfortable walking shoes. We also recommend you protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered).

Cu Chi tunnels
5 h 30
Located west of Saigon, Cu Chi turned out to be the most war-torn area during the Vietnam War with the French and the American. Driving for 70 km (44 mi) out of the city centre and into the surrounding countryside, it is hard to believe you are entering a war zone of such strategic importance. This tour focuses on the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese fighters who both lived and fought from underground tunnels. Originally constructed as a means to fight against the French by the Viet Minh, the tunnels were later expanded up to 11 metres (36 ft) below ground in hard soil using only rudimentary tools. Most tunnels were only 0.5–1 metre (2–3 ft) wide and 1.5 metre (5 ft) high, with thick roofs capable of withstanding the weight of tanks or the impact of bombs weighing up to 90 kg (200 lb).
En route to Cu Chi, a short photo-stop will be made at a rubber plantation.
On arrival at Cu Chi, a short video traces the history of the tunnels, their origins, design and construction. A military guide will explain with the use of dioramas the underground network, and display some of the tools and weapons utilised by the guerrillas. Much of the tunnel complex has been open and ventilated so that you can more easily experience the underground meeting rooms, kitchens, hospital and sleeping areas. More adventurous and agile tunnel explorers can experience an unlit passage, which has not been widened for the comfort of visitors! You will be tested to find the hidden tunnel entrances and be given insight into the ingenious methods that the Vietnamese soldiers employed to remain undetected and frustrate their enemies.
Refreshments and souvenirs are available in the nearby parking area, which also displays some military paraphernalia. On the return drive to Saigon, a stop will be made at the recently erected memorial nearby, which honours the ten thousand guerrilla soldiers who died during the fighting at Cu Chi.
- Guests suffering from claustrophobia are not recommended to crawl into the tunnels. Sturdy shoes, sun and mosquito repellent are recommended. Passengers visiting lower levels may get dirty.

It is truly inspiring to walk among the ruins, imagining life here during its hey days.

Authentic Saigon
4 h 30
From the pier, start a panoramic city tour of Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon. A witness to the independence of Vietnam, this city changes as fast as the Vietnamese economy develops. The impressive contrast between the traditional and modernity is an eloquent example of how the Saigonese want to keep their identity despite of globalisation.
During this city tour, including photo stops, you will discover the former Presidential Palace, now known as Reunification Hall. This historic building was made famous when a Vietnamese liberation tank crashed through its front gates on 30 April 1975, signalling the end of the Vietnam War. You will also see the famous Notre Dame Cathedral, a neoclassical structure dating back to the 19th century. On the other side of the square, the Central Post Office proudly shows its colonial style outside, and hides rare ancient maps decorated on the dome inside the building.
Your next visit is the Jade Emperor Pagoda. Built in 1909 in honour of the supreme Taoist god, this temple is a perfect example of a Vietnamese-style religious site. Replete with statues of divinities and heroes, locals celebrate a number of festivities at the pagoda, such as New Year’s, Buddhist and Taoist celebrations.
Then, you will head to the Fito Museum. Even though theirs is a modern society, many Vietnamese still use herbs to heal wounds or treat chronic diseases. You will visit the very interesting Herbal Medicine Museum to see how trees, herbs, and other plants are exploited for medical purposes.
Your last stop will be to Binh Tay Market, in the very heart of Cholon, more commonly known as Chinatown. The streets are full of life and colour, with bargaining being conducted at numerous street stalls.
- This tour involves approximately 0.4 miles (600m) of walking on flat and uneven ground. We recommend you wear light clothes and comfortable walking shoes. We also recommend you protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered).

Cu Chi tunnels
5 h 30
Located west of Saigon, Cu Chi turned out to be the most war-torn area during the Vietnam War with the French and the American. Driving for 70 km (44 mi) out of the city centre and into the surrounding countryside, it is hard to believe you are entering a war zone of such strategic importance. This tour focuses on the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese fighters who both lived and fought from underground tunnels. Originally constructed as a means to fight against the French by the Viet Minh, the tunnels were later expanded up to 11 metres (36 ft) below ground in hard soil using only rudimentary tools. Most tunnels were only 0.5–1 metre (2–3 ft) wide and 1.5 metre (5 ft) high, with thick roofs capable of withstanding the weight of tanks or the impact of bombs weighing up to 90 kg (200 lb).
En route to Cu Chi, a short photo-stop will be made at a rubber plantation.
On arrival at Cu Chi, a short video traces the history of the tunnels, their origins, design and construction. A military guide will explain with the use of dioramas the underground network, and display some of the tools and weapons utilised by the guerrillas. Much of the tunnel complex has been open and ventilated so that you can more easily experience the underground meeting rooms, kitchens, hospital and sleeping areas. More adventurous and agile tunnel explorers can experience an unlit passage, which has not been widened for the comfort of visitors! You will be tested to find the hidden tunnel entrances and be given insight into the ingenious methods that the Vietnamese soldiers employed to remain undetected and frustrate their enemies.
Refreshments and souvenirs are available in the nearby parking area, which also displays some military paraphernalia. On the return drive to Saigon, a stop will be made at the recently erected memorial nearby, which honours the ten thousand guerrilla soldiers who died during the fighting at Cu Chi.
- Guests suffering from claustrophobia are not recommended to crawl into the tunnels. Sturdy shoes, sun and mosquito repellent are recommended. Passengers visiting lower levels may get dirty.

It is truly inspiring to walk among the ruins, imagining life here during its hey days.
