We will be on Encore in February and have been trying to discover the exact ports but like you to no avail. I was told by someone who cruised this year 2022 that it was the City ports in both HCMC and Da Nang. Fingers crossed it remains the same. Also which Dock in Hong Kong? I thought I might put a question on again in January when the itineraries have started and hopefully someone responds. Have a great cruise.

Thank you. Will check this out.

We disembark in Hong Kong next February and our flight home isn't until 11.30 pm. We do not want to spend the day at the airport and our thoughts are that we should be somewhere around the Harbour. Has anyone any recommendations for a day use hotel and area? Any help would be appreciated as we have not visited Hong Kong before and because of time restraints need to return home right after the cruise.

Thanks EbonyJ. We are now looking at possibilities. We are travelling with friends who just want to stay in Da Nang, Do you recall whether Seabourn provide a shuttle from the port or is it walkable? Thanks for your input.

Thanks All, a big help with planning. Thanks for the tips on currency too.

We will be aboard Encore in February and wondered if anyone can comment on a couple of the ports please. Laem Chebang: We have visited Bangkok on land tours a couple of times and thought it may be possible to get to Pattaya which I believe is 30/40 minutes away. Does Seabourn run a shuttle to port entrance (or Pattaya). Is it easy enough to get a taxi. We only want 4 hours or so, mainly to get off the ship as it seems the port is very commercial. Hoi An: We would like a half day tour to Hoi An but most of the tours seem to be full day . It looks like we can walk off the ship into Da Nang. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for your reply Reed Princess. Pigeon Island looks good.

We understand we will be tendered to the Marina. Is it possible to walk to the beach..? What would a taxi cost and which beach?
