China's 2nd homegrown large cruise ship completes main hull assembly

(ECNS) -- China's second homegrown large cruise ship completed the assembly of its main hull, with construction entering a rapid phase. It is set to be delivered by the end of 2026, according to China State Shipbuilding Corporation on Wednesday.

The ship measures 341 meters in length and 37.2 meters in width. In comparison to the country's first domestically-built large cruise ship, the second completed its transition from dock assembly to full hull integration in just nine months, shortening the process by more than two months.

Named "Adora Flora City," the second vessel will start international journeys from its home port of Guangzhou in south China's Guangdong Province in 2027.
