CruiseAdict218 Posted November 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2018 “CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping has announced an agreement to purchase two existing ships from Carnival Corporation’s Costa Group. The first of these ships, the 85,861-ton, 2,210-passenger Costa Atlantica, is scheduled to be transferred to the new Chinese cruise line by the end of 2019. The new line is part of a joint venture between China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) and Carnival Corporation. Costa Atlantica’s sister ship, the 2,114-passenger Costa Mediterranea, will be transferred at a date still to be announced, but is expected to be at the end of 2020, according to CSSC. The new China-based cruise company plans to operate its own fleet to serve Chinese cruise guests by the end of 2019, according to a press release.” https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/19913-costa-atlantica-and-mediterranea-to-transfer-to-chinese-brand.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wansbrough Posted November 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2018 The Chinese cruise market must be massive considering the ships being based or transferred to the region. I just hope they fully appreciate the clingy shower curtains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
