The USA’s Azamara Journey cruise ship, carrying 650 American passengers, berthed at Da Nang’s Tien Sa Port on Thursday morning.  Arranged by the Saigontourist Travel Agency, the ship’s arrival is the first to bring American visitors to the city since the start of this year's cruise ship season.

The US guests were taken to the central region’s World Heritage Sites of Hue Citadel, Hoi An City and My Son Sanctuary.  Many were also interested in local tours, such as visiting the Linh Ung Pagoda and the Marble Mountains, shopping at the Han Market, and enjoying a city tour by cyclo.
