100 Voyages and Growing Popularity
China’s first domestically built large cruise ship, Adora Magic City, completed its 100th voyage in Shanghai on Monday, welcoming over 350,000 domestic and international tourists since its commercial launch in early 2024.
At 6 a.m., the cruise ship docked at the Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal, where passengers disembarked after another successful journey.
“There are slides, swimming pools, and ‘gardens on the sea’ on the cruise ship,” shared a young passenger, describing his favorite experiences on board.
“I hope that next time, I can bring my parents along to join me on another Adora voyage,” added another traveler.
Advanced Maritime Support for Safe Operations
Shanghai’s maritime and border inspection authorities have introduced a customized management program to enhance the cruise ship’s safety and operational efficiency.
“Using tools such as the smart maritime platform, electronic patrols, and Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system, we provide advanced safety and weather information to ensure a smooth and secure voyage,” said Sheng Jinghao, a maritime inspector at the Baoshan Maritime Safety Administration.
“We’ve implemented a series of measures to streamline the customs clearance process. With the cruise control system, we accelerate inspections, significantly reducing passenger waiting times,” said Qiao Yingsong, a customs officer at the Pujiang Border Inspection Station.

Adora Magic City highlights China’s expanding cruise industry expertise, built with the collaboration of over 1,000 global manufacturers. The ship stands as a symbol of innovation and international cooperation, reflecting China’s commitment to advancing its maritime tourism sector.
