The cruise ship adopts the world’s first-class core technology in the cruise ship industry–electric propulsion system. It effectively promotes the upgrading of the propulsion mode of the inland ship and improves the speed. Thus, the system helps for its excellent vibration and noise-reducing capability.

After the successful launch, interior decoration and equipment installation will follow up. Additionally, the cruise ship will open to operation in July next year.
