On March 5, high-speed cruise liner Beiyou 16 with 22-member crew on board safely docked at Tuan Chau port, the departing site for Ha Long Bay trip, to test-run the service.
Following the trial run, the first three-hour voyage will operate on the route this April with two trips carrying 800 passengers on average each a week.
The new service is expected to promote tourism and marine transport in Ha Long Bay, the world’s heritage site and wonder. It will offer the two countries a chance to boost bilateral trade and introduce their cultures in a more rapid, convenient and safe way.
