China's second domestically-made cruise ship, Adora Flora City, is scheduled to be undocked in March, paving the way for its delivery by the end of the year, according to Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd, a subsidiary of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).

As of Friday (Feb 27), its construction workload has reached approximately 92 percent. The vessel is scheduled for undocking in mid-March, followed by sea trials planned for late May, the Shanghai-based shipyard said.

The 141,900-gross-tonnage ship will be 341-meters-long, 17.4 meters longer than Adora Magic City, the nation's first domestically built cruise ship. In the meantime, the vessel will add 19 guest rooms, bringing the total to 2,144 rooms, which can accommodate up to 5,232 passengers.

Given the moniker Adora Flora City in October 2024, the cruise vessel takes Guangzhou of Guangdong province as its home port. It is expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.
