China has initiated its first cruise-to-nowhere journey with the departure of the Adora Magic City from Shanghai port. This new cruise offering marks a departure from traditional itineraries by focusing solely on a sea voyage without any stops at other ports.
A Voyage Without Port Calls and New Visa Policy
The ship’s itinerary includes cruising exclusively within Chinese waters and making no calls at additional destinations. To facilitate this cruise format, Shanghai authorities have introduced a visa-free permit system, aiming to ease the process for travelers embarking on domestic cruising experiences. This approach represents a novel travel option for passengers interested in exploring cruise vacations originating in China without
leaving the vessel for port excursions.
