Adora Cruises will take delivery of its new cruise ship, the Adora Flora City, ahead of schedule.

Based on an agreement with Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard, the vessel will be delivered on November 6, 2026, the company said in a press release.

The ship will then launch international routes from Guangzhou, capital of south China’s Guangdong Province.

Adora’s CEO Roger Chen said: “We are now fully focused on the early delivery of Adora Flora City and on preparations for her launch.  We will continue to optimize the deployment, deepen our ‘Cruise + Culture’ strategy and refine the guest experiences, bringing fabulous cruise vacations to more travelers at home and abroad.”

After being floated out on March 20, 2026, the vessel has now fully entered the commissioning phase.

According to Adora, the overall construction progress has reached 96 percent, with interior outfitting 87 percent complete and commissioning work 76 percent complete, while sea trials are set to follow in mid-May.
