During the vessel’s stay, passengers are set to explore Ha Long Bay, sample delicious local cuisine, and tour the city’s downtown area and tourist attractions such as the Complex of Yen Tu Monuments and Landscape and the Quang Ninh Museum.
According to Pham Van Hiep, director of the Ha Long International Cruise Port, this is the fourth visit made by the cruiser to Ha Long city this year. So far this year the cruise ship has brought more than 11,300 international tourists to the locality.
Moving forward, Costa Serena is expected to return for another visit on November 8.
According to the schedule, from now until the end of the year, the Ha Long International Cruise Port will welcome tens of thousands of international tourists coming from about 12 cruise ships of several of the world’s most well-known brands, including Mein Schiff 6, Celebrity Solstice, and Noordam.
The arrivals of international cruise ships will contribute to creating more jobs for local workers whilst helping to develop more professional tourism services.
Quang Ninh has set a target of receiving 3.5 million international visitors this year.
