Da Nang welcomed nearly 33,000 international cruise tourists in the first nine months of 2024, marking a significant rise of 14,500 visitors compared to all of 2023. By the end of the year, the city is projected to reach 40,000 cruise arrivals—an impressive 120% increase over last year.
The growth has been driven by rising interest from European, American, Chinese, and Australian markets.

The department is also focusing on attracting high-spending tourists, aiming to boost revenue for local businesses and enhance Da Nang’s competitive appeal.
