Adora Flora City, the second domestically-built large cruise ship operated by Adora Cruises, left Shanghai on November 9 for its first trial voyage since its delivery. The ship is scheduled to arrive at Nansha International Cruise Home Port in Guangzhou on November 12. The voyage will test the ship's operational readiness ahead of its commercial launch.
During the trial, the ship will undergo systematic tests covering maritime operations, navigation safety, onboard products and services, ship-to-shore coordination and information systems. The ship will also run under simulated operating conditions to test key parts of the guest experience, including accommodation, dining, entertainment, shopping and leisure. Adora Cruises will use feedback from the voyage to further refine its products and services ahead of the ship's inaugural season in Guangzhou.
Adora Flora City is scheduled to embark on its maiden voyage from Nansha International Cruise Home Port on November 22. Olympic diving champion Guo Jingjing has been invited to serve as ambassador for the maiden voyage. She will officially name the ship at the launch ceremony and wish it safe and smooth sailing.
Measuring 341 meters long, with a gross tonnage of 141,900, Adora Flora City has 2,130 staterooms and suites and can accommodate up to 5,232 guests. Compared with its sister ship, Adora Magic City, it offers upgrades in spatial design, smart technology and onboard experiences, giving domestic and international guests a better time at sea.
