A Holland America Line cruiseship is now sailing to Cambodia after being turned away by ports in five countries.
The 82,900-gt Westerdam (built 2004) is scheduled to arrive at Sihanoukville on Thursday morning to allow its 1,455 passengers to disembark and transfer via charter flights to Phnom Penh for further journeys.
“All approvals have been received and we are extremely grateful to the Cambodian authorities for their support,” said Holland America, a subsidiary of Miami-based cruise giant Carnival.
