These two superyachts are Westerdam (Netherlands nationality) and Star Voyager ( Bahamas nationality).
Right after arriving at the port, Westerdam tourists visit famous landmarks such as Ha Long Bay, Yen Tu, and Ha Long city tour. The group also traveled to Hanoi and Vinh Bao (Hai Phong) to explore the typical cultural and historical destinations of the Northern Delta.
Meanwhile, the Star Voyager ship docked later and tourists are completing procedures to get ashore.

In 2025, Star Voyager visited the port for the fourth time, while Westerdam marked the first departure of the year, after two visits in 2024. The fact that major international shipping lines continuously choose Ha Long as a destination shows the constantly increasing attraction of the heritage city on the international high-end sea tourism map.

The peak season for cruise ship tourism lasts from October to April every year, when tourists enjoy long journeys through many destinations.
With a favorable location and modern infrastructure, Ha Long International Passenger Port is becoming one of the most favorite seaports for the world's leading shipping lines.
It is expected that in November, the port will welcome 10 international ships and by the end of the year, the total number of ships arriving at the port will increase to 23, bringing about 32,000 visitors, bringing the total number of international cruise ship visitors in 2025 to nearly 90,000 visitors.
Since its official opening in 2018, Ha Long International Passenger Port has welcomed 209 luxury cruise ships, serving nearly 280,000 international visitors, contributing to raising the position of Vietnam's cruise ship tourism on the world map.
