The Adora Magic City has become the only large cruise ship operating out of Shanghai through the end of 2026.

The repositioning reflects a seasonal deployment pattern rather than a market exit. Royal Caribbean’s Spectrum of the Seas departed Shanghai on November 1 on a repositioning sailing to Hong Kong, where it will operate its 2026-27 winter season.

The MSC Bellissima, which had been running Shanghai departures through early October, completed a repositioning call to Tokyo on October 4 and is now based in Japan and Taiwan for the winter.

The Adora Magic City’s November sailings offer a four-night Shanghai–Jeju–Busan–Shanghai itinerary, with departures sailing on November 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28.

Its December program adds longer regional itineraries, including Shanghai–Okinawa (Naha)–Jeju loops on December 6, 13, 20 and 27, with port calls varying by sailing.

Three two-night cruise-to-nowhere weekend voyages are scheduled for December 11, 18 and 25.

A New Year’s Eve departure on December 31 will run a three-night Shanghai–Jeju–Shanghai itinerary.
