AIDA Cruises as the German Market Leader

Carnival Corporation, the world's largest cruise operator, has announced the first Chinese cruise ships to be built in China. The first of these ships, being constructed for the Carnival China Cruise Shipping joint venture, was recently floated out. This marks a significant milestone in the development of China's domestic cruise industry.

China's First Domestically Built Cruise Ship

The first domestically built cruise ship in China is scheduled to begin its maiden voyage in January. The ship, which has yet to be named, is being built by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) at its shipyard in Shanghai. The ship will have a capacity of 1,350 passengers and will feature a variety of amenities, including restaurants, bars, pools, and a casino.

The construction of the first Chinese cruise ships is a major step forward for the country's cruise industry. China is the world's largest cruise market, with over 10 million Chinese passengers taking cruises in 2019. However, until now, all of the cruise ships operating in China were built in other countries.

The construction of the first Chinese cruise ships is a sign that the country is committed to developing its domestic cruise industry. The new ships will help to meet the growing demand for cruises in China and will also help to create jobs and boost the economy.
