Vung Tau, known as Cap St Jacques during the French occupation of Vietnam, has always been a popular beach resort for residents of Saigon. Attractive villas dotting the hillsides create pretty accommodation. The resort town perches on a peninsula lined with miles of sandy beach.
Drive along the coast past a 100-foot-tall statue of Jesus and visit a hillside Buddhist temple with attractive views.
Further around the peninsula, you will see the so-called Bay of Boats, where numerous colorful wooden fishing boats are anchored.
A visit to the former Royal Residence of Bach Dinh, the White Villa, is included. Take in spectacular views over the bay from the frangipani-scented gardens of the villa before you return to the ship.
