The Chinese Taishan features new cruises this spring, sailing to Vietnam from Haikou for Bohai Ferry. Thirty-six voyages are scheduled.

The ship sails on Fridays on a four-day/three-night itinerary calling on Danang. Mondays and Wednesdays see the ship offer a three-day/two-night sailing calling on Ha Long Bay.

As of January, the ship was deployed through the end of March and was expected to move north to Dalian for the summer, sailing to Japan and South Korea.

Xinjian Yu, general manager of the cruise line, was positive on the deployment moves, noting the new routes are helping the company grow.
