The ship departed from Sihanoukville in Cambodia to Phu Quoc and then headed to Con Dao island and Ho Chi Minh city before returning to France.
Passengers toured the century-old Ham Ninh fishing village and enjoyed the village’s specialties, especially Ham Ninh crab, visited Phu Quoc prison, which was used for detention of Vietnamese Communist POWs, and Ho Quoc temple.
Phu Quoc has emerged as a new market for French cruise ships. It is expected that by the end of 2024, there will be two luxury cruise ships carrying French passengers to the resort island.
