Adora Magic City, the Chinese mainland's first homegrown large cruise ship, celebrated its 100th voyage in Shanghai on Monday. Since commencing commercial operations in early 2024, it has attracted over 350,000 domestic and international tourists, offering an onboard experience filled with slides, swimming pools, and even 'gardens on the sea.'
Passengers of all ages have been charmed by the ship's innovative design and leisure amenities. A young traveler shared his excitement about the vivid attractions, while another passenger expressed hope to bring her parents along on a future journey, highlighting the cruise ship's appeal to families and young global citizens alike.
To ensure smooth and safe operations, Shanghai's maritime and border inspection authorities have rolled out a customized management program. By utilizing advanced tools such as smart maritime platforms, electronic patrols, and the Vessel Traffic Services system, officials provide critical safety and weather information throughout the voyage. Complementing these measures, streamlined customs clearance processes have significantly reduced passenger waiting times.
Built with contributions from over 1,000 global manufacturers, Adora Magic City stands as a milestone in the Chinese mainland's cruise industry. It represents a fusion of advanced technology, international cooperation, and immersive travel experiences that set a new standard for the future of maritime tourism.
