Phnom Penh, May 19th, 2023 —

Costa Serena, a cruise ship sailing under the flag of Italy, has been on a two-day visit in Cambodia.

Coming from Thailand, the cruise ship with 1,671 tourists of 37 different nationalities on board docked at Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, Preah Sihanouk province on May 17.

According to the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Department of Tourism, most of the tourists are Thai and Chinese.

The cruise ship of 290.20 metres long and 35.50 metres wide left Preah Sihanouk province and returned to Thailand on May 18, at around noon.

The docking of Costa Serena shows that Cambodia with a good control of the COVID-19 pandemic is a safe country to visit. Thanks to the Royal Government’s right policy to boost the COVID-19 vaccination, Cambodia was able to reopen the country and resume its socio-economic activities since November 2021. By Phal Sophanith
