China's first domestically-built large cruise ship, the "Adora Magic City," left port in Shanghai on Monday for the start of its trial voyage.
Since its successful undocking on June 6, the cruise ship has completed a number of tests, including emergency tests, according to China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
The cruise ship, with a gross tonnage of 135,500 tonnes, can accommodate more than 6,500 passengers. It will have a luxury hotel, cinemas and a water park on board.
It is expected to be delivered by the end of 2023.
The construction of the country's second domestically-built large cruise ship started in August 2022.

Catch me at the wave pool with a tiki drink, surfs up comrades!
Damn, rare china L. Cruise ships are objectively terrible in every way shape and form and no amount of "let people enjoy things" discourse will change that.
cruise ships are bad! get back to me when they make nuclear ocean liners.
The cruise ship won't have the massive carbon footprint or be a toxic waste dump the way Burgerlander cruise ships are, right?

Crazy that cruise ships have more gross tonnage than an aircraft carrier
icky but I guess this is just how it has to go when you wanna cross the river by feeling for the stones
China wants to have a 1985-1995 USA good time. Fuck it, the world is dying and they beat the US so they can have a few years of stupidity.
This would be admirable but only if it was nuclear. As-is it's powered by planet-killing gas.
