The Bermudan-registered Coral Princess became the first luxury cruise ship to arrive in Khanh Hoa Province since the closure of Nha Trang Port for repairs, on Wednesday.
Carrying a group of 2,300 tourists from various European countries, the ship docked at Cam Ranh Port at 7 a.m. on Wednesday.
The tourists toured Nha Trang City, located about 40 kilometers from Cam Ranh, by cyclo, and visited traditional villages and other local attractions.
The ship departed for Hong Kong in the afternoon of the same day.
Launched in 2002, the ship is valued at $360 million. It measures nearly 300 meters in length and 62 meters in height and can accommodate more than 2,000 guests, staff, and crew members.
In early October, several maritime service businesses in Nha Trang reported the cancellation of dozens of international cruise ships carrying tens of thousands of high-end passengers due to the indefinite closure of Nha Trang Port for maintenance.
Khanh Hoa Department of Tourism proposed that Tan Cang Company Limited and Navy Region 4 facilitate the reception of cruise ships at Cam Ranh Port.
