Adora Magic City, China's first domestically built cruise ship, set sail from the Qingdao international cruise home port on April 6 with over 4,000 guests on board, officially kicking off its coastal tour in China.

Qingdao, with its unique geographical location, abundant tourism offerings, and comprehensive policy support, has become an important cruise home port in northern China. In the future, Adora Magic City will take this opportunity to deepen the innovative model of cruise and culture with the local government, promoting the dissemination of Chinese culture, maritime culture, and cruise culture and providing a more diverse and rich cruise experience for guests in the northern region, according to a person in charge of the cruise ship.

Adora Magic City departed from Qingdao on April 6 and April 10, embarking on a five-day, four-night international cruise to Jeju, South Korea, and Fukuoka, Japan. The cruise ship is 323.6 meters long, with a total tonnage of 136,200, and has 2,125 luxurious rooms and suites.

Integrating diverse ideas and innovative concepts, the cruise ship offers a unique cruise experience from multiple dimensions, blending Chinese and Western cultures and offering exquisite craftsmanship, immersive entertainment, and family-friendly fun.

Adora Mediterranea, one of Adora Cruises' two cruise ships, will also depart from the Qingdao international cruise home port on May 14, embarking on three five-day and four-night international journeys to popular cruise destinations such as Fukuoka, Japan, and Jeju, South Korea. The Adora Mediterranea also plans to return to Qingdao in September this year, operating multiple international cruise routes.

To date, the two large cruise ships operated by Adora Cruises have served over 560,000 domestic and international guests in total.
