After disembarking from your cruise ship, you will need to take the port shuttle bus to the main gate because outside vehicles and drivers are not allowed inside the port area. At the gate, you will easily spot your driver waiting with a welcome sign showing your name.

With our Phu My to HCM private car service, your vehicle will be ready, clean, air-conditioned, and comfortable — no searching around and no waiting. 

From there, the journey continues directly to Ho Chi Minh City via the main highway. The itinerary is completely flexible but always carefully planned with enough buffer time to ensure you return to the cruise port safely and on time.

Guests who have traveled with our Phu My Port to Ho Chi Minh City private car service are consistently satisfied with our professional service, clean modern vehicles, and drivers who can communicate in basic English. Many travelers also choose our Phu My to Saigon private transfer because the itinerary is fully flexible instead of fixed like crowded group tours. 

You can create your own sightseeing plan or contact us directly for recommendations on famous attractions.

Not only do we operate private car transfers from Phu My Port to Ho Chi Minh City, but if your cruise ship also docks at other ports in Vietnam, feel free to contact us as well. We offer special discounts for guests booking multiple port transfers, including:

- Chan May Port to Da Nang Private Car  from 135 USD

- Tien Sa Port to Hoi An Private Car from 84 USD

- Cam Ranh Port to Nha Trang Private Car from 125 USD

This is one of the most balanced itineraries for cruise passengers who only have one day in Vietnam.

Also known as the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, this famous church was built by the French between 1877 and 1883.

Lunch Break (Optional)

After the morning sightseeing, you can enjoy lunch at a local Vietnamese restaurant or choose from various international dining options nearby.
