Earlier this year, the super cruise ship Anthem of the Seas docked at Cai Mep International Port, Phu My town, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. The ship is expected to stay in Vietnam for 3 days, taking passengers on tours in Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, and Da Nang.
Cai Mep, with its majestic beauty as a modern seaport, has become an attractive destination for tourists wanting to explore a different side of Vietnam. To ensure the safety and convenience of visitors, advance registration, health declarations, and security checks are mandatory. However, these procedures will be quickly completed so that visitors can comfortably explore the giant ships anchored here.
Operating since 2015, Anthem of the Seas is one of the world's largest cruise ships, with a capacity of 5,000 people. With its large passenger capacity and numerous amenities, the ship is often described as a "floating city at sea." Anthem of the Seas is owned by Royal Caribbean International. The ship typically departs from ports in the US or UK, serving cruise routes around the Caribbean, Canada, and Europe. Itineraries usually last from a few days to two weeks, depending on the route. Royal Caribbean International owns the world's largest fleet of cruise ships, with 26 large vessels.
The cruise ship has a tonnage of approximately 168,000 tons, is 348 meters long and 41.4 meters wide. It can accommodate over 4,000 passengers and a crew of 1,500.
Compared to other cruise ships in its segment, Anthem of the Seas is truly a "king" of the seas. With its massive size and modern design, this ship has set a new standard for luxury and comfort. Not only does it boast a large tonnage, but Anthem of the Seas is also equipped with the most advanced technologies, offering passengers unique and unforgettable experiences. From diverse entertainment systems to world-class services, everything is designed to meet the needs of even the most discerning customers. These factors have helped Anthem of the Seas maintain its leading position in the cruise industry.
According to AP, the design and construction process took nearly three years and involved integrating the most advanced technologies into the yacht. Engineer Meyer Werft, the project leader, was highly praised for his impressive and sophisticated creation, titled "Song of the Sea."
The Anthem of the Seas cruise ship is owned by Royal Caribbean International, one of the world's leading cruise lines.
Along with its magnificent appearance, the superyacht Song of the Sea boasts many outstanding amenities, most notably the North Star Observatory. The observatory is essentially a spherical cabin elevated over 90 meters above sea level. From the observation deck, guests have the opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of the sea and admire the sunset from above.
At Anthem of the Seas, visitors also have the opportunity to experience RipCord by iFLY, an indoor skydiving experience that simulates the feeling of flying without actually jumping out of an airplane. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the Two70 Degrees experience, a unique entertainment space overlooking the sea. Two large walls of Two70 Degrees can transform into giant video screens, creating an impressive multimedia entertainment space and offering visitors a unique and relaxing experience.
This is a great opportunity to promote the image of Vietnam to international friends.
The cruise ship is expected to stay in Vietnam for 3 days, taking tourists to Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, and Da Nang. Representatives from several travel agencies said that many tourists are now urgently choosing tours for the Lunar New Year holiday. Among these, cruise tours are one of the options attracting the most interest from tourists.
Travel agencies also added that, with the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday lasting 9 days (from January 25th to February 2nd), many people believe that a 3-day, 4-night cruise tour is suitable for families and groups of friends.
