The name is ‘Bay One’. Five-star quality boat. This modern luxury passenger ship is connected to the seas of the country. The ship set sail on the Cox’s Bazar-St. Martin. Karnafuli Ship Builders, a Chittagong-based company, has added this next-generation cruise for tourists to watch the waves of the Blue Sea on this route.
The ship was inaugurated by the Minister of State for Maritime Transport, Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury, and the Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Tourism, Mahbub Ali, at the Karnafuli Ship Builders jetty in Anwara, on the south bank of the Karnafuli River, the Sunday afternoon. He then left Chittagong for Cox’s Bazar with about two thousand tourists.
Adnan and Arif, two schoolchildren, happily bounced on a king bed in a luxurious cabin on the ship. The first trip of their lives. His mother was fascinated by the curtains on the windows in the air-conditioned room. At that time music was playing on the deck of the ship. Furthermore, the enchanting magical performance was to attract passenger children. Many people lined up at the end of the ship for coffee to get through the winter.
Saidul Islam, director of Bay One, told Kaler Kanth that the ship will operate regularly on the Cox’s Bazar-St. Martin as of Monday. There are various arrangements on board to provide maximum service to tourists. This is the first five-star quality passenger ship in the country.
Karnafuli Ship Builders officials said the ship has a presidential suite with a minimum price of Tk 2,000 to Tk 30,000. It has 16 VVIP cabins, 26 luxury cabins and more than 700 seats of different quality.
Ajmal Hudao, who is involved in the tourism business at Cox’s Bazar, became the first passenger on the Bay One ship as a passenger. He told Kaler Kantha that this luxury cruise will add a new dimension to the country’s tourism industry. There was no sophisticated cruise ship in the country for so many days for luxury sea voyages. Now the capacity to carry two thousand passengers at a time has been developed.
Mentioning that ‘Bay One’ has added a new dimension to the country’s blue economy, a tourist named Sakhawat Hossain said: ‘Like neighboring countries, we also have the opportunity to build a maritime tourism industry. But our tourism industry lags behind South Asian countries. If the government is a little sincere in the development of the tourism industry in Sagarakendi, foreign tourists will come to our country like Singapore and Malaysia.
Bay One will be a milestone in the country’s tourism industry, said the young tourism entrepreneur. Sabab Hossain told Kaler Kantha, “Luxury cruises can be operated not only on the Cox’s Bazar-St. Martin, but also on the Barisal and Sundarbans routes. People of the country travel to different countries as tourists to entertain themselves. But our country’s tourism industry is lagging behind. If modern facilities are developed in the country, the tourism industry will advance.
