Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking private shore excursions from Chan May Port to Hue, Hoi An, and Da Nang, pier logistics, and our on-time guarantee.
Why book direct with Saigon Shore Trips rather than ship desks?
We are native cruise specialists based directly in Vietnam. Booking direct bypasses overseas agent commissions and automated third-party desks, giving you personal itinerary design, direct dock permits right at Chan May Port, and instant local operational support at true direct-to-ground value.
Where exactly will our private guide meet us at the port?
Your private guide and chauffeur meet you directly at your ship's gangway right at Chan May Port holding a personalized nameboard. Because commercial port terminals restrict unauthorized vehicles, we secure official VIP dock permits so you never have to walk through busy cargo gates.
How do you guarantee we will return to the ship on time?
We maintain a 100% on-time ship return track record. We coordinate with port marine authorities, track vessel satellite schedules in real time, and program safe cross-region transfer buffers over the Hai Van Pass into your return schedule to ensure you arrive back at Chan May Port well before all-aboard calls.
What is your "No Port, No Pay" guarantee?
Your reservation carries zero financial risk. If severe weather, sea conditions, or cruise line adjustments cause your ship to bypass Chan May Port, your excursion is protected with a full refund and zero penalty charges.
Are entrance fees, tolls, and transport fully included?
Yes. All excursions are fully inclusive of executive air-conditioned transport, licensed historian guides, monument and citadel admissions, pass tolls, dock security passes, chilled bottled water, and refreshing towels with no hidden charges.
Can we adjust the itinerary or customize our walking pace?
Yes. Because every booking is 100% private, the schedule revolves entirely around you. Whether you want to linger longer at the Imperial Citadel in Hue, explore lantern shops in Hoi An, or take a gentle walking pace, your guide adjusts seamlessly.
What happens if our ship's arrival time shifts?
Our operations desk monitors berthing times continuously. If your arrival is brought forward or delayed by maritime traffic, our team automatically shifts pick-up times and dispatches your vehicle without any additional charge.
What vehicle fleet do you utilize for shore transfers?
We deploy late-model luxury vehicles, including premium sedans, spacious Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, and high-spec VIP limousines, all equipped with high-efficiency air-conditioning and driven by certified defensive chauffeurs.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and mobility needs?
Easily. We curate specialized meal plans (gluten-free, vegan, halal, or allergy-conscious royal cuisine options) and structure routes with step-free access for guests with limited mobility or folding wheelchairs. Simply share your preferences during booking.
How do we confirm our booking and complete payment?
You can reserve directly via our online inquiry form or instant WhatsApp. We prepare a detailed confirmation sheet with port permits and vessel coordinates, providing secure payment options before your voyage begins.
