You step off the gangway into humid air tinged with diesel and salt; the harbor hisses, and a driver holds a sign with your name. In five hours you will move from colonial facades to red-brick Cham ruins, from a bustling lotus-shaped market to wind-sculpted rock outcrops where the ocean insists on being noticed. This is a shore excursion built for pace and presence — enough time to feel the city’s rhythm without missing your ship.
