Adora Cruises: the new Chinese cruise line
Adora Cruises is the name of the new cruise line, which will cater to the Chinese market, born from the joint venture between Carnival Corporation and China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
“Adora Cruises will develop more products tailored for Chinese passengers that combine global and domestic cruise market highlights,” said Roger Chen, CEO of CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping.

The company will begin operations in late 2023 with their first Vista-class ship, currently under construction at Waigaoqiao Shipyard in Shanghai, the name of which is not yet known. Meanwhile, a second ship, also of the Vista class, is already under construction.
The 16-story ship will have a variety of entertainment and recreational facilities, including a dining hall, performance and entertainment areas, and a shopping plaza.

The company also acquired the Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea, which will then be part of the fleet.
Adora cruises thus aims to be Asia’s largest cruise ship fleet, offering departures from several ports in eastern, southern and northern China.
