China's second domestically built large cruise ship, the Adora Flora City, has been 85 percent finished in construction, with efforts accelerated to complete the remaining work. The vessel is currently undergoing interior outfitting and equipment testing at the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard. The ship is scheduled to undock in March 2026, begin sea trials in late May, and be delivered by the end of next year. The ship has 2,144 cabins. It spans 341 meters in length and weighs over 140,000 tons -- a deadweight tonnage which is more than twice that of China's Shandong aircraft carrier. It is 6,400 tons heavier and 17.4 meters longer than the country's first domestically built cruise ship, the Adora Magic City. The Adora Flora City will be equipped with more advanced smart technology and AI, with cabins and public areas featuring intelligent interactive functions, which will offer smarter information access and more convenient services. In addition, backend spaces will also undergo technical upgrades for more efficient and eco-friendly cruise operations. The vessel will receive significant upgrades in spatial design, technological features, and overall cruise experience, including various new suite types to meet the needs of members of multi-generational families traveling together. Compared with the Adora Magic City, the Adora Flora City is expected to undock eight months earlier thanks to higher construction efficiency. Shotlist: Shanghai, China - Recent: 1.
