Silk Road cruise stimulates interest in China

Bonnie Ender is a veteran cruise traveler.

The American from Arizona has been on roughly 30 cruise holidays before, but the trip she took in June was different.

She embarked in Barcelona, Spain, on the brand-new cruise ship Majestic Princess with her husband in late May and would spend 49 days sailing to multiple countries before reaching the final destination, Shanghai, in early July.
