It was among a series of ships carrying passengers to Vietnam in the beginning of 2014, Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
President of the Viet Excursions Co. Ltd. Phan Xuan Anh said that the five- star liner from the French operator Compagnie du Ponant will return to the Saigon port on Feb 10 with more than 100 tourists. Another luxury ship named L’Austral from the operator will also arrive in the country in 2015, he added.
Meanwhile, Le Dinh Tuan, a representative of the Tan Hong travel company, said the firm is planning to welcome an array of well-known luxury liners such as Seabourn Legend, AIDAura, SS Voyager, Nautica, Diamond Princess and Queen Elizabeth.
According to the Saigontourist Travel Service Company (STS), from Jan 23 to Feb 15, it is set to welcome more than 52,000 passengers and crew on over 20 international liners.
Anh said such travellers demand high-class services. Tourists boarding Le Soleal asked for high-class cars to explore their destinations. They paid US$500 for use of a Mercedes, BMW or Audi for four hours.
Most tourists with families on the cruise spent heavily on luxury clothes, handbags, cosmetics and paintings.
STS Deputy General Director Vu Duy Vu said travel firms need to provide new and diverse products for cruise travellers. Particularly, they should offer tours to coastal examples of world heritage and cultural and historical traditions.
