According to a statement by the Ho Chi Minh City Border Guard Command, the cruise ship contains roughly 700 international students, teachers, and 174 crew members with the vessel originally scheduled to visit China on February 4 from Kobe port before arriving in Da Nang on February 10. These plans have been forced to change as a result of the impact of the nCoV epidemic with the ship instead docking in Ho Chi Minh City
