The Spectrum of the Seas, hailed as Asia’s largest luxury cruise ship, made its maiden arrival at Cam Ranh International Port in Khanh Hoa province on Friday, carrying a diverse group of 4,700 passengers from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The grand vessel, known for its exceptional amenities and service, arrived early in the morning, with passengers disembarking around 6 a.m. The tourists then journeyed to the vibrant city of Nha Trang, located approximately 40 kilometers away, where they enjoyed a leisurely tour of the city’s iconic attractions aboard traditional cyclo rickshaws.

After a day of exploration, the Spectrum of the Seas set sail again at 4:00 p.m., continuing its voyage towards Hong Kong. The ship’s visit to Cam Ranh Port marks a significant milestone in its itinerary, showcasing the growing appeal of Vietnam as a key destination in the global cruise market. With its state-of-the-art facilities and a wide range of entertainment and dining options, the Spectrum of the Seas is a highly anticipated addition to the region’s cruise offerings.

This visit also marks a notable first for the luxury liner, as it is the first time the Spectrum of the Seas has docked at Cam Ranh Port. On a previous trip in September, the ship had planned to bring tourists to Nha Trang Bay, but unforeseen delays in docking at Nha Trang International Port due to maintenance work resulted in passengers being transferred by smaller vessels. This new docking at Cam Ranh Port signifies the increasing importance of Vietnam as a sought-after cruise destination.

Khanh Hoa, renowned for its sought-after resorts in Nha Trang and Cam Ranh, has seen a remarkable influx of 3.8 million international tourists in the first ten months of 2024. This marks a 134% surge compared to the previous year and exceeds the province’s annual target by 30%.

The massive 347-meter cruise ship, operated by Royal Caribbean International, features 16 decks, over 2,000 cabins, and has a passenger capacity of up to 5,600.
