Chinese New Year cruise strengthens Danish ties

A cruise liner full of passengers from China and abroad set sail on Jan 18 from Copenhagen DFDS cruise terminal on a voyage to offer a colorful insight into Chinese culture through the theme: "Happy Chinese New Year".

Aboard the cruise liner, various activities centered on Chinese Spring Festival, culture and tourism were held throughout the trip. The event was co-hosted by the Beijing Culture and Tourism Bureau, Copenhagen China Cultural Center and the Danish-United Steamship Company.

Chen Dong, deputy head of the bureau, said that hopefully, the event can promote further communication and cooperation in the cultural tourism sector between the two countries, enhancing the understanding between people from both countries.
