Cambodia Plans to Welcome Cruise Ship That Was Allowed to Dock During Pandemic

Cambodia Reopens to Cruise Ships After Two-Year Hiatus

Cambodia is planning to once again welcome cruise ships to its shores, after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first cruise ship is expected to dock in Sihanoukville on November 15, 2023.

The Return of Tourism

The return of cruise ships is a major boost for Cambodia's tourism industry, which has been hard hit by the pandemic. In 2019, Cambodia received over 6.6 million international visitors, but that number plummeted to just over 1 million in 2020.

The government is hoping that the return of cruise ships will help to revive the tourism industry and create jobs. The cruise industry is expected to generate over $100 million in revenue for Cambodia in 2023.

Cruise Ship Safety

The government has taken steps to ensure the safety of cruise ship passengers and crew. All passengers will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and they will be tested for the virus before boarding the ship.

The cruise ships will also be required to follow strict health and safety protocols, including enhanced cleaning and disinfection, social distancing, and mask-wearing.

A Lasting Impression

The return of cruise ships to Cambodia is a sign that the country is slowly recovering from the pandemic. The government's decision to welcome back cruise ships is a testament to its commitment to reviving the tourism industry and creating jobs.

The arrival of the first cruise ship in Sihanoukville on November 15, 2023, will be a major milestone for Cambodia. It will mark the country's official reopening to cruise ships and the beginning of a new era of tourism for Cambodia.
