Located in South Central Vietnam, this coastal paradise is one of Vietnam’s under-the-radar gems. While visiting Nha Trang while on an Asia cruise, you’ll find the town is made for lounging beachside along the crystal clear waters of the Nha Trang Bay. It’s also perfect for treating yourself. Take a one-of-a-kind mud bath at Thap Ba Hot Springs Center, where the local mud and mineral waters are said to have restorative properties and can soothe the body. Thap Ba is less than an hour from Nha Trang City, so you’re never too far from the action.
Of course, a Nha Trang cruise stop could easily be spent doing absolutely nothing but sunbathing at Nha Trang Beach. Then again, you could get in touch with your inner kid at Vinpearl Island, an amusement and water park that’s a short cable car ride from the city. Whatever you decide to see and do, year-round tropical weather awaits. Head off the beaten path to experience a side of Vietnam you’ve never seen before.
