(Bandar Seri Begawan, 15th) The Costa Serena cruise ship set sail from Singapore on the 11th of this month and arrived at Brunei's Muara Port, carrying about 4,300 passengers and crew.
After docking, travelers embarked on half-day and full-day sightseeing tours, enjoying Brunei’s natural beauty and cultural attractions to deeply experience the unique cultural charm and warm hospitality of the 'Abode of Peace.'
On that day, Brunei Travel Hub mobilized about 40 tour guides and interpreters, as well as over 40 buses, to provide welcoming and sightseeing services for the cruise passengers, ensuring smooth journeys.
The Brunei Tourism Development Department, Brunei Travel Hub, and Muara Port staff made thorough preparations for the cruise's arrival, striving to provide visitors with efficient and high-quality services.
The passengers hailed from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Vietnam, the Philippines, Germany, France, and other countries, with most visiting Brunei for the first time.
During their stay in Brunei, the travelers visited several iconic landmarks and tourist attractions, delving into the country’s abundant cultural heritage and natural scenery. Through interactive explanations from tour guides, they not only admired the blending of traditional and modern cityscapes but also experienced the tranquility and hospitality unique to this small Southeast Asian nation.
Despite limited stay time, the sightseeing itineraries remained comprehensive and well-organized, covering cultural, historical, natural, and human elements to leave visitors with a strong impression of Brunei’s diverse appeal in a short period.
This brief but meticulously-planned trip not only showcased Brunei’s friendly image but also left a wonderful memory for international visitors, laying a positive foundation for future tourism development.
On the day, tourists were led in groups by guides to visit many of Brunei’s famous attractions, including an exterior tour of Istana Nurul Iman Palace, Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, Jame’ Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, The Mall shopping complex, Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Shopping Complex, Jerudong Royal Polo Club, Jerudong Park, Kampong Ayer water village, Gadong Night Market, and Sultan Golden Jubilee Park, among other sites.
After their Brunei visit, the Costa Serena will continue its journey to the Philippines, allowing passengers to experience the diversity and maritime scenery along the Southeast Asia to South China route.
Brunei is expected to further optimize its cruise reception capacity, attracting more international cruise companies to include it in their itineraries and driving sustainable growth in the tourism industry.
The Costa Serena cruise ship also visited Brunei’s Muara Port on December 14th last year.
