Adora Magic City Review

Review of adora magic city.

The 2023-built/2024-inaugurated Adora Magic City cruise ship is the first of two China-built vessels ordered by CSSC CARNIVAL CRUISE and operated under the new travel brand Adora Cruises (2022-established/2023-inaugurated).

Magic City's sistership (TBN) is currently scheduled for inauguration in 2025. CSSC CARNIVAL CRUISE's fleet also included two older ships (transferred to CSSC Carnival from Costa Cruises in January 2020) - Costa Atlantica (2000-built/in 2023 sold) and Costa Mediterranea (2003-built).

According to the shipbuilding contract, besides the two initial units (each costs US$ 770M/EUR 700M, 2019 currency rates), there is an option for four more ships of the same class to be produced by SWS/ Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd. Reportedly, the negotiated shipbuilding cost was ~1/5th cheaper than if the units were constructed in Europe.

The Adora Magic City vessel (IMO number 9871036) is currently Panama- flagged (MMSI 352001180) and registered in Colon . It is expected after the official delivery, the ship's registry/flag state to be changed to Hong Kong China .

Adora Magic City (aka Aida Modu/阿依达魔都) is the first China-manufactured large cruise ship, named in recognition of Shanghai's local nickname (Magic City/魔法城). Currently, there are four mega-cities linked to this title - London (England), Tokyo (Japan), New York City (USA) and Shanghai (China).

History - construction and ownership

Adora Cruises Ltd (shipowner) is a joint venture company founded in October 2015 (as "CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping Ltd"/renamed in June 2023) and a cruise ship management company that operates the fully-owned subsidiary and new travel brand Adora Cruises. CSSC Carnival China was initially scheduled to start operations in 2020, but due to the COVID crisis, the brand's debut was postponed to 2023.

CSSC-Carnival's Adora Cruises is a joint venture between Carnival Corporation (1972-founded) and China Merchants Group Ltd (1872-founded, Hong Kong -headquartered Chinese state-owned corporation). Most of CSSC Carnival Cruise is owned by Chinese shareholders (60%), and the remainder by Carnival (40%). The Chinese stockholders include CIC (China Investment Corporation) and CSSC (China State Shipbuilding Corporation). Carnival Corporation plc is the world's largest cruise shipowner (and passenger shipping company) by combined fleet (number of vessels and GT tonnage/volume) and berth capacity.

Adora Cruises' newbuilds Adora Magic City and TBN (2025) are with a modified Carnival VISTA design, represented by the sisterships Carnival Vista (2016), Carnival Horizon (2018), Carnival Panorama (2019), Carnival Venezia (2019-built as Costa Venezia) and Carnival Firenze (2020-built as Costa Firenze).

In comparison to the original Carnival VISTA design, the CSSC Carnival Cruise's ships have volume/Gross Tonnage 135500 GT-tons (vs 133596), DWT/Deadweight 13000 tons (vs 13415), the same waterline beam (37 m / max width is 46 m, with the Navigation Bridge's wings) and the same draught (8,2 m / 27 ft). The vessel is fitted with a total of 20x lifeboats (each with capacity 314 seats).

For major construction milestones and events see the ship's Wiki page .

Decks and Cabins

Adora Magic City staterooms (2125 total) all provide as standard amenities 2 twin beds (convertible to Queen-size double bed), wardrobe, electronic safe box and lifejackets (in the closet), seating/lounge area (with mirrored vanity/writing desk with chair), smart HDTV (satellite reception, infotainment system), direct-dial phone, hairdryer, refrigerator (minibar), en-suite bathroom (WC, shower, mirrored single-sink vanity).

All balcony staterooms are with sofabeds to accommodate 3rd/4th passengers. WiFi is available in all staterooms for an additional charge as well as in public areas. Suites receive free 24-hour room service, slippers, bathrobes plus drinks package and personal valet.

The boat has 16 decks, of which 14 are passenger-accessible and 12 with cabins.

The ship also has a total of 701 crew cabins and a capacity to accommodate 1292 staff/crew members.

Shipboard facilities and amenities

What is confirmed so far is that the liner has a large center for performing arts, numerous restaurants and cafes (complimentary and specialty dining venues), various lounges and bars, art corridors, children's clubs, a spa, an outdoor amusement park with a circular-shaped waterslide and a kids playground with 11 total water-play features and a spacious sunbathing area for children.

The 16-story liner offers an expansive 40,000 m2 (430,556 ft2) of public living and recreational space.

The aquapark has a total of 3x water slides (spanning four decks). Other fun facilities are the Rope Garden (outdoor activity course with 360-degree sea views), and the VR/Virtual Reality gaming center.

Exact details on Adora Magic City ship's venues, facilities and onboard services are to be announced soon.

The next review is based on the ship Carnival Venezia that was thoroughly redesigned during an extensive drydock in 2023, following the transfer from Costa to CCL-Carnival Cruise Line .

Adora Magic City has a complimentary Main Dining Room (on two levels, waiter-served) open for Breakfast, Brunch (seadays only), Lunch (seadays only) and Dinner. On portdays, Breakfast is served between 7:30-9:30 am (closed for lunch). Dining Room hours are subject to change due to itinerary/port of call arrival times or scheduled onboard activities. On seadays, one MDR serves Brunch (breakfast and lunch /between 8:30 am - 1 pm) while the other MDR serves Breakfast (between 8-10 am) and Lunch (between 12-noon - 1:30 pm). Afternoon Tea service (between 3-4 pm /seadays only) is complimentary and includes a selection of teas, paninis/mini sandwiches, sweets.

Traditionally for Carnival ships, Adora Magic City is expected to have signature dining venues like

• Steakhouse (at a surcharge/reservations recommended) with waiter service and offering appetizers, salads, sides, entrees (prime-aged beef steaks, ribeye, filet mignon, lamb chops, chicken, lobster, fish fillet), desserts, as well as beverages (bar prices apply) - fresh coffee/tea, dessert wines and after-dinner drinks.

• Teppanyaki Sushi Restaurant (Japanese food bar/reservations-only) serving authentic Far East cuisine specialties and drinks. The venue provides a live cooking show performance (by the chefs) at custom-built cooking stations positioned at the center of an 8-seat dining table. Due to the room's limited seating, reservations are required. Each meal starts with a sampling of 5 appetizers (Miso Soup, Pork Belly Yakitori, Spicy Tuna on Rocks). Combo dinners are also offered. Each meal ends with the specialty desserts "Chocolate Bento Box" and "Green Tea Ice Cream". The restaurant is open for lunch (seadays only) and for dinner (every night of the voyage). The venue could be with a cover charge (price per person/covers the entire meal) and/or a la carte priced.

The ship's main show lounge Metropol Theater (capacity 975 seats) is on two floors/levels and hosts grand-style show productions with live performances (tribute acts - singing and dancing) combined with sound and lighting special effects. The evening shows last 30 min. The music is backed by HD media (photos and videos) projected on large-size LED screens. The evening entertainment program also offers popular family game shows and guest performers (stand-up comedy acts, magicians, musicians). During the day, the Theater hosts fun and enrichment events like seminars, expert lectures, multimedia presentations, workshops and classes, bingo sessions, port talks, shore excursions meetings, etc. Metropol Theater is a multi-purpose venue, so instead of traditional stadium seating (bench-style), all chairs are individual to allow different configurations.

Chian's first Comedy Theater at Sea is via partnership with Mahua FunAge (Kaixin Mahua Cultural Tourism Development Co Ltd).

The ship has a complimentary outdoor Cinema (fitted with a huge LED screen) and a stage for live performances and games. During the day, the Cinema is used for showing funny videos, TV shows, concerts, live sporting events, while in the evenings there are projected movies (under the stars) with complimentary provided popcorn.

Being mandatory for a Chinese ship, Adora Magic City has a huge Casino (with Annex/VIP gaming Room). The gaming lounge is equipped with various slot machines (coinless) and gaming tables (Craps, Roulette, Black Jack 21, Caribbean Stud Poker, dealer-free poker tables). At the Casino are also provided complimentary gambling lessons and regularly hosted tournaments. Table games are cash only. Slot machines are boarding cards only (coinless). The Casino is closed when the ship is in port, and opens 30-60 min after the ship leaves port.

Another must for a Chinese ship is the large Adora Shopping Center/Plaza (duty-free mall sized approx 2000 m2 / 21530 ft2) that groups various luxury-brand boutiques (jewelry-watches, designer bags-hats-shoes-fashion-accessories-sunglasses, perfumes-cosmetics-beauty products) as well as shops selling art collections, liquor-tobaccos, convenience goods and Adora Cruises-logoed merchandise - all at duty-free prices.

The ship also has a Photo Gallery & Shop (selling photo/video equipment and accessories and also displaying and selling photos made by the ship's professional photographers), Photo Sessions Studio, Art Gallery (displays original works available for purchasing, also hosts art auctions).

The 3-floor-high Atrium (midship on decks 3-4-5) has an open-floor design and on its lower level housed the Lobby (Tour Desk and Guest Services Desk/Reception), the Atrium Bar and the stage (for live performances). From the Atrium's mid-level and paper (decks 4-5) are directly accessed the Boutiques and Shops.

The onboard Wellness Complex consists of a Fitness Center (modern Gym), Spa (), Beauty Salon (facials, manicure/pedicure, hair styling-cutting-coloring, eyebrow shaping, makeup, waxing, grooming-barbering, teeth whitening, Medi-Spa).

The ship's outdoor facilities include SkyCourse (suspended ropes course/complimentary), Multi-Sports Course (for playing volleyball/basketball/tennis), Mini-Golf Course, free entry Serenity Deck (adults-only sundeck with 2 whirlpools, 2 massage huts, cabanas, hammocks, wicker chaise lounges and clamshell chairs, shaded seating areas, complimentary food station/salad bar, a-la-carte-priced Serenity Bar for drinks and refreshments).

The ship has a dedicated to small children complex where certified counselors provide complimentary age-appropriate supervised activities and themed entertainment for kids in 3 age groups - 2-5 yo, 6-8 yo, and 9-11 yo. A separate complimentary Children Club Lounge is for older kids (12-14 yo/video games, movies, parties, planned activities), and there is a Teen Club for teenagers (15-17 yo/movies, interactive video gaming, karaoke, themed parties, booking teen-only cruise shore excursion).

AI-STEAM Sea Exploration Camp features fun learning, educational games and activities, competitions, themed parties, and has a separate indoor play zone.

Adora Magic City Wiki

The vessel (SWS Shanghai Waigaoqiao yard/hull number H1508) has volume 135500 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight tonnage 13100 tons, max draught 8,6 m. The powerplant is based on 5x MAN marine diesel engines (4-stroke, common-rail injection/2x 14V48/60CR plus 3x 8L48/60CR) with combined output 62,4 MW (83680 hp). The propulsion is diesel-electric and based on two ABB Azipod thrusters with combined output 33 MW (44250 hp). The registered shipowner and manager is CSSC CARNIVAL CRUISE SHIPPING Ltd ( Hong Kong -based).

The shipbuilding contract between CSSC (China State Shipbuilding Corporation, parent of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd) and Carnival Corporation plc was signed in February 2017. In the period 2017-2019, the shipbuilder invested ~USD 260 million in shipyard upgrades to be able to accommodate the construction of China's largest passenger ships.

The contract for the vessel's design (CCL VISTA modified) and construction was signed on November 6, 2018, during "China International Import Expo 2018". The shipbuilding order was for 2+4 units (two ordered plus four optional).

The vessel's construction officially started on October 17, 2019, with the steel-cutting ceremony held at the SWS-Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding yard in Shanghai China .

The vessel's physical construction/assembly started with the keel-laying/coin ceremony on November 10, 2020, held at SWS. The special event was attended by Michele Cecchi (Italy's Consul General in Shanghai), Wu Qing (Shanghai's Deputy Mayor), Lei Fanpei (CSSC's Chairman), Giuseppe Bono (Fincantieri Group's CEO), Fabrizio Ferri (Fincantieri China's CEO), Tian Yulong (MIIT's Chief Engineer) and Gao Dongsheng (MIIT's General Manager). MIIT stands for China's "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology".

The hull and superstructure were completed (in drydock) on November 2, 2021.

The vessel (yard/hull number H1508) was launched/floated out from drydock on December 17, 2021. The drydock's flooding started on Dec 16th, and, traditionally for China, the ship's bow was decorated with banners. The launch ceremony featured the spraying of water on the bow, creating a rainbow. On the launch day was reported that the vessel was 55% complete. After floating, it was moored at a dock for interior outfitting. The launch party was addressed via live stream by Arnold Donald (Carnival Corporation's CEO).

The ship's first main engine/diesel generator was started for the first time on July 26, 2022.

The design was redeveloped by CSSC, with some of the technologies and consulting provided by the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri . The design incorporates ~25 million different components and parts, 107 systems, ~55000 equipment sets, 4180 km/2600+ mi of cabling, 365 km/227 mi of pipelines, 120 km/75 mi of air pipes. The construction works involved ~12 million man-hours of labor, 5000+ engineers and technicians (from 32 countries), 361 suppliers (domestic and foreign), 1105 businesses/companies.

Being the owner of the patented Carnival VISTA-class platform, Fincantieri set up a joint venture with CCTD (Fincantieri China Ltd) to grant the technology license of the vessel platform as well as to provide technical services to the shipbuilder (SWS) including project- and supply chain management and sales of the ship's main systems and components. Fincantieri's subsidiary Marine Interiors was contracted to design, prefabricate and install the ship's public areas, catering facilities, all glass walls, as well as all cabins (passenger + crew/~2800 units).

The powerplant is based on one main diesel generator (model Wartsila 31, 9,6 MW) with a total power output 62,4 MW. The propulsion system is based on two ABB azipods (steerable/360-degree rotating pod propellers moved by electric motors) with power output 16,8 MW. The ship's max speed is 22,6 knots.

In late-March 2019, SWS contracted ABB Ltd (1988-founded, Zurich Switzerland -based manufacturer of marine propulsion systems and robotics/automation systems) to supply and install the ship's Azipods. The contract was signed by Gang Chen (Shanghai Waogaoqiao Shipbuilding's General Manager) and Peter Terwiesch (ABB Industrial Automation's President). The ABB package also includes the entire electric powerplant (electricity generators, main switchboards, transformers. The propulsion control for the Azipods (from the Navigation Bridge) includes remote diagnostics provided by ABB Ability Collaborative Centers (land-based facilities for real-time data gathering and analysis).

The cruise ship is fitted with shore-power connectivity . The technology allows the main diesel engines to be shut down while berthed, thus reducing in-port noise and pollution (COx and NOx emissions and soot particles). While moored, the ship uses the port city's electrical grid to provide electricity for all onboard facilities and services.

On December 12, 2022, Adora Cruises signed a strategic partnership with China Duty-Free Cruise Services Ltd (2018-founded subsidiary of CDFG/China Duty-Free Group Co Ltd) for the management of the ship's duty-free shopping center. CDFG is a state-owned retailer and China's only company authorized to provide duty-free services (business, offshore, overseas and other).

In February 2023, SWS reported that the liner is 87% complete.

In April 2023 started the assembly of the ship's amusement park featuring a waterslide with a 5-m/16-ft-high circular-shaped/bowl slide (diameter 8 m / 26 ft).

The ship's name (Adora Magic City) was officially announced on May 19, 2023, by Chen Ranfeng (CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping's Managing Director). The announcement was made at a special event in Shanghai organized by "Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism" and CCTD (CSSC Cruise Technology Development Co Ltd).

On June 1, 2023, the ship was refloated in preparation for its official launch from the drydock, which was conducted on June 7th. The previous launch from the drydock (on December 17, 2021) was when the hull was floated temporarily.

The first set of sea trials was completed in July and the second one in September 2023.

Adora Magic City was officially delivered and named in Shanghai on November 4th (2023). The christening ceremony was held at Waigaoqiao Shipyard and led by godmother Fan Jinshi (1938-born Chinese archaeologist). The naming event was attended by government officials and representatives from CSSC (including Wen Gang/Chairman), Adora Cruises, major travel agencies, and media.

China marks a significant milestone in its maritime industry with the Adora Magic City, the nation’s first domestically built large cruise ship, ready to embark on its maiden voyage. This ground-breaking vessel is equipped with a suite of advanced solutions from Wärtsilä, a global leader in innovative maritime technologies.

Wärtsilä’s Technological Contribution

Wärtsilä ANCS has outfitted the Adora Magic City with a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art solutions, including the NACOS Platinum Valmatic automation and control system, valve control system, low location lighting, navigation system, engine and bridge control room console, and a smart motor control unit. The vessel also features Wärtsilä’s bow thruster system and dynamic trim system, alongside supplies of cable and steel parts.

Thomas Heldarskard-winnerskjold , Director of Automation & Navigation at ANCS, highlights the project’s significance: “The cruise industry has always been a key focus for ANCS in providing innovative automation and making navigation capabilities possible. The Adora Magic City not only represents a leap forward for China’s shipbuilding industry but also allows new opportunities for the cruising industry in China.”

Ship Specifications and Maiden Voyage

The Adora Magic City is a marvel of modern shipbuilding, measuring 323.6 meters in length and with a gross weight of 135,500 tonnes. It can accommodate up to 5,246 passengers in its 2,125 guest rooms. The ship, which boasts 16 floors and 40,000 square meters of public living and recreation space, is scheduled for its first commercial voyage on January 1, 2024, initially covering routes in Northeast Asia, with plans to expand to China-Southeast Asia routes later on.

Zhou Qi, Project Manager at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC, underlines the project’s impact: “The project’s importance lies in its role as a symbol of China’s prowess in shipbuilding, and Wärtsilä ANCS, with their innovative products and continuous support, have allowed us to set new standards in China for the luxury cruising industry.”

A Symbol of Pioneering Shipbuilding

The successful launch of the Adora Magic City underscores China’s capabilities in constructing large-scale, luxury cruise ships. This vessel is not only a testament to China’s advancements in the maritime sector but also sets a new benchmark for luxury cruising in the country.

This project is part of the thriving Moscow City mixed-use district—centrally located within the sprawling Russian metropolis—the design of which is similar to London’s Canary Wharf and Paris’s La Défense. An 85-story skyscraper and a 49-story office tower soar from a 7-story transparent crystalline base, gradually tapering away from each other as they rise. Designed by US-based architectural and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—renowned for its iconic towers, including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building—the OKO Tower complex laid the groundwork for a new era in contemporary Russian development. At 1,150 feet high, and with a total area of 4,300,000 square feet, the OKO South Tower is not only the largest skyscraper in Moscow, but also the highest residential tower in Europe. The complex also has the biggest parking area in Moscow, with 15 levels for 3,500 parking spaces.

Residential and office lobbies have elegant interiors by Italy-based designer Massimo Iosa Ghini. With leading engineering solutions and security systems, 24/7 services, restaurants and bars, a private cinema hall, a luxurious spa and fitness center, and a private landscaped park, OKO Tower offers the ultimate in comfort and activity. The key-ready residential apartments boast designer interiors and stunning panoramic views of the Moskva River, the Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hills) park, the Kremlin and the skyscrapers of Moscow City.
