On the 21st of May, Phu Quoc Island welcomed the very first cruise ship named Costa Serena back after 3 years being affected by COVID-19 waves.
Costa Serena anchored in Phu Quoc (Bach Dang Port) at around 7:00 and set to leave the island around 17:00 of the same day. The cruise ship (2017-built, last refurbished in 2023 April) is the second of all five Concordia-class Costa cruise ships) which carries 3,617 passengers.
During 9:00 to 15:30, passengers are free to choose their inland activities. Passengers after finishing immigration customs on cruise will be escorted by small boats to Bach Dang Port.
In which, a popular itinerary for our customers is to take a private transfer to visit some well-known places of South Phu Quoc Island, namely SunWorld Hon Thom Cable Car, Kem Beach, Sao Beach, Ho Quoc Pagoda, drop by some beachside lunches or front street marts to purchase some necessary stuff before heading back to the port of cruise disembarkation.
Our self-guided itinerary works well so that our guests who contact us some days prior to their arrival date are able to navigate their schedule better on arrival.
Phu Quoc local people are almost not being widely informed about the cruise ship arrival by the media then not many people were able to arrange to be at the port as previously.
However, one thing that many local residents hope for is many more cruise ships arriving in the near future which helpfully boost the tourism of the island after a long time of difficulties.
Contact us to make a crafted plan for your customers if you’re inbound travel companies or to design a plan that fits your short visit if you’re independent travelers because we know our island well.
