On August 9 one of the world's largest cruise ships, Voyager of the Seas, carrying more than 3,600 passengers and 1,200 crew members docked for the first time in the central city of Hue.

The passengers were taken from Chan May Port to historical relic sites and natural attractions in Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An where they also enjoyed local food and shopping.

The Voyager of the Seas berthed at Chan May Port's wharf No 1 in which cruise operator Royal Caribbean International Group has invested US$4 million for an upgrade so that large cruise vessels can anchor there.
