An eight-day coastal cruise trip along China's southeast coastline will be offered from May 7, which covers multiple ports and destinations including Zhoushan, Xiamen, Fujian province and Shenzhen, Zhang added.
In addition to the domestic voyages, the relaunch of international cruise trips is also under planning, Xu added.
Chinese-flagged ship China Merchants-Yidun is under a joint-venture between China Merchants Shekou and Switzerland-based cruise line operator Viking Cruises. It is also the first high-end cruise ship operated and managed independently by the China Merchants Viking Cruises.
