MV Sentosa sees jump in passengers

THE MV Sentosa double-deck cruise ship reported a surge in passengers during the holiday season last week with more than 400 people cruising along the Brunei River in four days.

Daniel Hilman, operations manager at Sha-Zan Marine Sdn Bhd, which owns the vessel, said the ship increased the number of trips for the month of December due to popular demand.

The cruise ship made four or five trips weekly to cater to the 1,800 passengers over the month-long school holidays in December, he said.
