Australia’s Coral Expeditions has returned to Vard’s Vung Tao shipyard with an order for a cruiseship only weeks after taking delivery of its first Vietnam-built vessel.

Coral managing director Paul Chacko revealed to the online publication Cruise Industry News that an order has been placed for a second expeditoon ship that will be delivered in December 2020.

To be named Coral Geographer, it will be a sistership of the 5,600-gt Coral Adventurer, which was delivered by Vard to Coral Expeditions last month.
