Adora Cruises
Adora Cruises (CSSC Carnival) was founded in October 2015 as a joint venture set to be worth about $4 billion over ten years, between British-American cruise line Carnival Corporation & plc, Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation, and Chinese shipbuilder China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).
In November 2018, the contract for the first two Chinese-built ships was formally signed at a cost of about $1.5 billion, and CSSC Carnival announced that it planned to purchase two ships already in service, to enter its fleet beginning in late 2019 but those plans were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two ships already in service for Costa Crociere, Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea were sold to CSSC Carnival.
For a long time, CSSC Carnival was also know as “Carnival China” on many news and maritime websites. In 2023, the company was rebranded as Adora Cruises but still at this time is known as Adora Cruises Carnival China.
