BÀ RỊA-VŨNG TÀU — Cruise ship Resorts World One with 1,138 crew members and 2,128 passengers of different nationalities aboard docked at Côn Đảo Island in the southern province of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu on Sunday.

This is the second international cruise ship that the popular tourist destination has received since the beginning of the year.

Michael Goh, the President of Resorts World Cruises based in Singapore, said that Côn Đảo is one of the few places that has managed to preserve its enchanting and abundant natural beauty, along with its captivating museums, historical sites, and warm-hearted locals. He further mentioned that by selecting Côn Đảo as a fresh addition to Resorts World One's itinerary, the company intends to provide international tourists with unparalleled experiences and the chance to discover the most untouched destinations in Việt Nam.

Nguyễn Thành Nam, General Director of Saigontourist which served passengers of the cruise ship in Côn Đảo, said that his firm is seeking to increase the exploitation of the international luxury cruise tourist market to Việt Nam.

The successful hosting of cruise ship Resorts World One to Việt Nam in general and Côn Đảo in particular opens up opportunities to promote the image and affirm the attractiveness of the destination and Việt Nam's ability to attract international visitors, he held.

Resorts World One departed from Singapore on May 30 to start its five-day journey across Southeast Asia. On Saturday, it arrived in Cái Mép-Thị Vải Port and brought passengers to explore Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu Province and HCM City. It will return to Singapore on Tuesday. — VNS
