Representatives from the Xiamen International Cruise Home Port Group announced last week that it will resume its role as a home port for international cruises.

The Blue Dream Star will depart on October 10 for a voyage to the Philippines. It is the first time in three years for the port to host overseas tours.

Blue Dream Cruises will offer a total of 12 voyages on three Xiamen-based routes, with stops including Subic in the Philippines and Jeju in the Republic of Korea. All the cruise itineraries include trips that last five days and four nights.
