Despite the unfavourable weather conditions, many of the visitors enjoyed tours to popular tourist attractions and shopped at some local markets.

The ship then left Da Nang for other destinations at 7.00pm the same day.

Previously, on 31 October, another 1,200 cruise ship passengers from many countries, including the USA, France, and the UK, had visited the city.  They had been taken to the city’s popular tourist attractions, Quang Nam Province’s Hoi An, and Thua Thien Hue Province’s Hue City.
