Hey there, young adventurers! Have you heard about the Adora Magic City? It’s China’s very first large cruise ship that they built all by themselves! 🛳️
This gigantic ship started its exciting journeys on January 1, 2024. Can you imagine starting the new year on a big ship? So cool! Since then, it’s already made 84 trips and welcomed over 600,000 travelers from around the world. That’s like filling up a big football stadium almost ten times! 🏟️
Just recently, over 3,000 passengers hopped on board at the Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal for a fun six-day New Year adventure. 🎉
So, what’s so special about the Adora Magic City? Well, it’s 323.6 meters long (that’s longer than three soccer fields!) and weighs a massive 135,500 tonnes. It can fit up to 5,246 passengers in its 2,125 comfy rooms, and there’s also space for around 1,300 crew members who help make the trip awesome. 🚢
This ship is like a floating city! It was built with the help of over 1,000 companies from China and other countries. That’s a lot of teamwork! 🤝
But wait, there’s more! A second big cruise ship is being built right now and is expected to be ready by the end of 2026. It’ll start its journeys from Guangzhou City in 2027. More adventures ahead! 🗺️
China’s cruise industry is really picking up speed. Thanks to some new rules, like allowing tourists to visit without visas when they arrive on cruise ships, more people are exploring the seas. This helps the economy grow and gives everyone more chances to explore and have fun! 🚀
Who knows, maybe one day you’ll set sail on a grand cruise ship like the Adora Magic City and see the world from the waves! 🌎
