Khanh Hoa Super cruise ship Spectrum of the Seas carrying more than 4,700 international guests docked at Cam Ranh International Port, visiting Khanh Hoa on the morning of December 13.
Tourists from Europe, Asia, and America get off the ship at around 6am, visit Nha Trang city and the suburbs, experience local sightseeing by cyclo, visit Cai River, and visit the countryside. Some guests choose to experience free sightseeing by shuttle bus.
At 4:00 p.m., the ship left the port for Hong Kong.
Spectrum of the Seas is the largest and most modern cruise ship operating in Asia. The ship is 347 m long, nearly 50 m wide, 16 floors high, built in Germany in 2019 at a cost of 940 million USD and is equipped with the world’s largest indoor entertainment and sports complex.
This is the first time the ship has docked at Cam Ranh International Port. In September, the international superyacht took passengers to visit Nha Trang Bay but was unable to enter due to repairs at Nha Trang International Port, forcing passengers to transfer by small boat. The closure of Nha Trang Port for repairs and the unknown reopening date has caused more than 10 cruise ships carrying tens of thousands of international passengers to Nha Trang to be canceled .
Khanh Hoa Department of Tourism then proposed Tan Cang Company Limited and Navy Region 4 to create conditions for businesses to welcome guests through Cam Ranh International Port.
Cam Ranh International Port is 5 nautical miles from the international shipping route, over 2 km long, including two wharves that can accommodate large passenger ships up to 226,000 GT (over 600,000 m3). Ships can dock directly at the wharf so there is no need to transfer passengers by small boats.
This year, Khanh Hoa welcomed 28 international cruise ships with nearly 60,000 tourists coming ashore for sightseeing.
