Gourmet Cruises for Christmas and New Year in Ho Chi Minh City
Stunning views of Ho Chi Minh City by night
Once again the year has flown by. It’s almost 12 months since we headed off travelling to SriLanka, Oman, UK and North America. We’re both looking forward to arriving back in Saigon, to see our friends. As per usual there are some excellent dining opportunities available to celebrate both Christmas and New Year in Ho Chi Minh City. From what I can see, it looks like our favourite river cruise, The Bonsai Legacy, has one of the best value options for both celebrating on Christmas and New Year’s Eves. So if you want to do something special to celebrate with family, friends and loved ones then take a look at the details below.

Celebrate Christmas Eve with a Gourmet Dinner Cruise
Christmas is certainly a magical time, and Bonsai Legacy captures this magic with a special menu filled with the bounty of the season – fresh oysters from Nha Trang, chestnuts, live carving stations and a perfectly chilled wine! And of course, children on board will be a central part of the magic with us! Enjoy a sumptuous Christmas buffet with homemade Christmas desserts & Christmas spirit on board.

Disclosure: I receive a small commission if you book with the discount code. But, as usual, I’m making the recommendation based on personal experience. Hubby and I have dined on the Bonsai vessels several times, including Christmas 2015. The food, service and entertainment have been exceptional every time.
