General Information
ORGANISED SHORE EXCURSIONS
Booking Direct with Silversea gives you peace of mind. Our local tour operators are fully insured and have been comprehensively vetted. In
the unlikely event of issues with a Silversea tour, we assume responsibility and the ship will wait for our delayed shore excursion. These are
important factors when comparing value. Looking for a special program with your travelling companions? In a nod to our Italian heritage,
let us reserve for you our Silver Shore “Privato” service - a private vehicle with driver and/or guide. Create your own itinerary or leave it to
us. This service is available in most ports which you can reserve on MySilversea (my.silversea.com) or at the Shore Concierge desk onboard
for a truly tailor-made arrangement. Please bear in mind as we traverse many far reaching destinations, the local infrastructure varies and is
beyond our control. Road conditions and vehicles available locally may not be up to standards we are accustomed to. Guides and drivers
may speak with a heavy accent at times depending on the port of call. Be assured however that at Silversea, we contract only the best tours
and best operators available at each destination. Please Note: Silversea reserves the right to make any changes or modify a tour in case of
unforeseen circumstances and/or to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests.
BOOKING & CANCELLATION DEADLINES
Shore excursions must be purchased on or before the booking deadline for each port of call. Tours are available on a first-come, first-
served basis; some tours are very popular with guests often ending up being wait-listed: in order to avoid disappointment, it is therefore
suggested to book in advance via my.silversea.com from 120days until 48 hours prior to sailing. Last-minute requests to participate on
excursions are subject to space availability, which in some cases may not be determined until departure time pier-side. Please note that
certain shore excursions may have different reservation deadlines and may incur cancellation fees if cancelled after the deadline. Unless
otherwise indicated in the tour description for a particular shore excursion a 100% cancellation fee will be charged for shore excursions
cancelled within 48 hours of the scheduled start time. If changes or cancellations are required once onboard, tickets must be returned to
the Shore Concierge desk within the cancellation deadline period.

Depart the ship upon arrival for the 2.5-hour journey along a well-paved road to the Mekong Delta area. The mighty Mekong River, originating in
Tibet and flowing through several countries before its 120-mile (193-kilometre) course through Vietnam, divides into nine river mouths, aptly

SGN-F / CU CHI TUNNELS
DIFFICULTY
Price:$79;Duration:5.50hrs
The Vietnam War, or the American War as it is known in Vietnam, pitched modern American technology against fierce Vietcong resistance
waging a guerrilla war. On this half-day tour, experience a local perspective on wartime memories and the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels.
The two-hour drive southwest from Saigon to the Cu Chi Tunnels is a pleasant foray into the surrounding countryside. It is hard to believe you are
entering a former war zone of such strategic importance. The busy road passes through tranquil rice paddies where entrepreneurial villagers use
the hot roadside as a platform for drying all manner of produce. Hundreds of sheets of paper dot the countryside, drying on woven racks in the
relentless sun. A short stop is made at a small village for photos of the countryside view and paddy fields.
At Cu Chi, your guide explains the underground network, shows the displays of tools and weapons used by the guerrillas, and provides insight
into the ingenious methods that the Vietnamese soldiers employed to remain undetected. Work on the tunnels began in 1948 during the war
against the French, and greatly expanded throughout the 1960s.
Measuring 31 inches (80 cm) wide and five feet (1.5 metres) tall, the maze of tunnels was extensive, extending over 120 miles (193 kilometres).
They included storerooms, sleeping quarters, kitchens, medical facilities and classrooms, and at one time, over 16,000 people lived in the
tunnels. Most only 2 or 2.5 feet wide by 5 feet high (60-72cm X1.5 metres), the tunnels had thick roofs capable of withstanding the weight of tanks
or the impact of bombs weighing up to 200 pounds (91 kilograms). Some have been enlarged to accommodate visitors at the site.
Following your visit to the tunnels, board your coach for your return to the ship.
Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of walking. It is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a
wheelchair. Walking through the tunnels requires additional exertion. Guests participating on this portion of the tour should be fit and not
