Hue (pronounced hway), bisected by the Perfume River and 13 km (8 mi) inland from the South China Sea, in the foothills of the Annamite Mountains (Truong Son Mountains), stands as a reminder of Vietnam's imperial past. The seat of 13 Nguyen-dynasty emperors between 1802 and 1945, Hue was once Vietnam's splendid Imperial City. Although it was devastated by the French in the 19th century and again by fighting between the Vietnamese Communists and the Americans in the 20th, the monument-speckled former capital has a war-ravaged beauty. One can still imagine its former splendor, despite gaping holes in its silhouette. Hue is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city's gems are slowly being restored.

After disembarking

Cruise ships dock at Princess Cruise Ship Berth. Da Nang is about 1 hr each way from the terminal; Hoi An is about 1 hr 20 min each way. Plan around the ship’s time in port.

  • Where the ship docks

    Cruise ships dock at Princess Cruise Ship Berth.

  • Chân Mây Port Location; Round-Trip Transport Must Be Booked in Advance

    Chân Mây Port is a cargo and outer port between Huế and Da Nang. There is no public transport to the cities, so use a pre-booked private car or cruise line shore excursion.

  • Focus on One Direction (North to Huế or South to Da Nang and Hội An)

    Considering the port call (usually 10–11 hours) and travel time, it is safer to choose either the northern historic sites of Huế or the southern destinations of Da Nang and Hội An.

  • Dress Code for Temples and Royal Sites

    Modest clothing covering the shoulders and knees is required to enter religious and historic sites such as the Huế Imperial City, temples, and royal tombs.
