China set to deliver 2nd homegrown cruise ship in November
China's second domestically made cruise ship, Adora Flora City, is planned for delivery on Nov 6, two months ahead of the original schedule, announced the vessel's builder and future operator on Thursday.
In comparison with Adora Magic City, the nation's first domestically built cruise ship, the overall construction efficiency of Adora Flora City has improved by 20 percent, keeping it on track for planned sea trials in mid-May.
After its successful undocking on March 20, the cruise ship has accomplished 96 percent of its workload and is at the stage of dock mooring debugging at its builder China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC) Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd.
The 141,900-gross-tonnage ship boasts a length of 341 meters, which is 17.4 meters longer than Adora Magic City. In addition, the vessel will feature 2,130 cabins and can accommodate up to 5,232 guests.
