Hey there! Did you hear the big news? China has built its very first large cruise ship called the Adora Magic City, and it’s been super busy in 2024! 🌟
Since its first trip on January 1, the Adora Magic City has completed 84 journeys and welcomed 600,000 passengers on board. That’s a lot of happy travelers! 🎉
Just recently, over 3,000 people hopped on the ship at the Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal for a special six-day New Year trip. Sounds fun, right? 🥳
The Adora Magic City is really big—it’s 323.6 meters long (that’s longer than three football fields!) and can carry up to 5,246 passengers. It has 2,125 comfy guest rooms and around 1,300 crew members to make sure everyone has a great time. 🛌👨✈️
Did you know that building a cruise ship like this is a big team effort? Over 1,000 companies from China and other countries worked together to build it! 🏗️🌍
And guess what? There’s a second big cruise ship being built in China! It’s expected to be ready by the end of 2026 and will start sailing from Guangzhou City in 2027. More adventures ahead! 🚢🌊
The cruise industry is growing in China, especially with new policies like visa-free entry for tourists coming on cruise ships. This means more people can enjoy fun trips and help the economy grow. 📈💰
So, if you love the idea of sailing the seas on a giant ship, China might be the place to be in the coming years! 🌅⚓
