HCM City-based Saigontourist Travel Service Co received luxury cruise ship SuperStar Aquarius at Ha Long Bay last Saturday.

This is the first ship from Star Cruises to visit Viet Nam under a new co-operation programme with Saigontourist that lasts until April.

Under the agreement, Saigontourist will cater to 99 trips to Viet Nam made by SuperStar Aquarius and SuperStar Gemini during the coming six months.

The luxury ships, which will dock at Da Nang and Ha Long, will bring a total of over 110,000 tourists and crew from mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea.

From last November to March this year, Saigontourist welcomed 190,000 tourists and crew members on 80 Star Cruise trips.-VNS
