Astro Ocean Cruises has partnered with the 14th China Cruise Shipping Conference & International Cruise Expo (CCS14), which takes place in Guangzhou from November 15-17, 2019 and is organized by the China Cruise and Yacht Industry Association (CCYIA).

Astro Ocean Cruises is a Hong Kong-headquartered Chinese cruise brand, which is jointly funded and established by China Travel Service and the Cosco Shipping Group. The brand’s Piano Land is China’s first self-operated luxury cruise ship, according to the company.

Astro Ocean Cruises intends to expand its fleet size, according to a statement. The company will initially concentrate on itineraries in Asia and gradually extend its offerings to cruises with global itineraries.

CCS14 will focus on the development of cruise ships in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and developments in the domestic and international cruise market.
