During their one-day stay in the city, the passengers were taken to such local popular tourist attractions as the Linh Ung Pagoda, the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture, the Marble Mountains, the Ba Na Hills Resort and Quang Nam Province’s Hoi An City.  They also took a city tour by cyclo and shopped at some local markets.

Arranged by the Saigontourist travel agency, this was the first ship to visit the city in the 2016 - 2017 cruise ship season.  The ship then left Da Nang for Ha Long Bay at 5.00pm on the same day.

Next month, the SuperStar Virgo is again scheduled to visit Da Nang, and other localities such as Ha Long, Nha Trang and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
