3,500 Cruise Passengers Visited Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I'm surprised anyone would want to spend that much time in Sihanoukville.

Nothing to do with Malaysians.

I came to Cambodia about 20 years ago on a cruise ship called the ocean pearl. We tendered into a rickety old wooden port, and it was just beautiful then. Paradise untouched.

I stand corrected. Seems fake news is not a new phenomena.

The average time in port for a cruise ship is 15 hours. How long does it take to get off the ship, catch a bus or tuktuk, eat noodle at a Chinese restaurant and get back on board the ship.

Asia cruise market breaks record
By
TTR WEEKLY - May 7, 2019
SINGAPORE 7 May 2019 – Asia’s cruise passenger source market hit a new high in 2018 with 4.24 million people taking an ocean cruise, up 4.6% year-on-year, according to data released Monday by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

Asia continues to be the cruise industry’s third largest market after North America and Europe, the CLIA figures show, maintaining a 14.8% share of global ocean passenger volume (28.5 million) for 2018.

Most of the source markets in Asia saw year-on-year gains in 2018 except Mainland China and Malaysia. In particular, passenger volume from Singapore, India, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam had double-digit growth.

Mainland China retained its dominance as a source market, accounting for 55.8% of all Asian passengers, though the Chinese market has been going through a period of adjustment and saw a marginal 1.6% decline in passengers.

The more measured increase in Asia’s passenger volume did not come as a surprise as cruise ship capacity dipped in 2018 after years of rapid expansion in this region. Asia’s slowdown in ship capacity is due to the strong demand for cruise ships worldwide, and reduced short cruise itinerary options ex-mainland China.

“In the next few years, cruising in Asia is expected to continue growing in popularity with the arrival of new ships in 2019/2020 including from Costa Cruises, Genting Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean International and MSC Cruises,” said CLIA managing director for Australasia & Asia Joel Katz.

It should be taking 4000 PRC citizens away.

Princess etc. will dump 2600 + morbidly obese Americans in Snookie for a day a few times a year to have a real, 'cultural experience' in Cambodia.

You could be next.
