On November 9, the Celebrity Millenium will dock at Phu My Port (Ho Chi Minh City) with more than 2,000 passengers visiting Cu Chi, Can Gio and My Tho. The following day, the Celebrity Solstice, carrying over 3,000 travelers, will arrive at the same port on an itinerary covering Ho Chi Minh City- Hue- Ha Long.
The peak is expected on November 18, when three ships will call simultaneously- Celebrity Solstice and Star Navigator in Ha Long, and Star Voyager in Cam Ranh. Approximately 6,000 international visitors will arrive on these sailings, with the travel operator preparing more than 100 large tour buses and multilingual guides to accommodate the groups.
From now until the end of the year, Celebrity Solstice will continue multiple sailings connecting Phu My, Chan May and Ha Long. The Star Voyager (1,000 passengers) is also scheduled to return to Cam Ranh with day tours to explore the coastal city.
Another major vessel, Spectrum of the Seas (capacity of 5,000 passengers), is set to dock at Chan May on December 11. Passengers will have options to visit Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, My Son and Ba Na, including cultural experiences such as cycling in Hoi An Ancient Town or joining a Vietnamese cooking session.
