2023年11月2日，在上海浦东新区的外高桥造船厂，人们兴奋地忙碌着。中国首艘境内制造的大型豪华邮轮的交付仪式两天后将在这里举行，他们在做最后的准备。此时，有着16 层上层建筑的“爱达·魔都”号靠泊在厂区码头，上下邮轮的舷梯两侧贴着标语——“中国人的邮轮梦想从这里启航”。
On November 2, 2023, people were bustling with excitement at the Waigaoqiao Shipyard in Shanghai's Pudong New Area. The delivery ceremony for China's first domestically manufactured large luxury cruise ship was set to take place here in two days, and they were making final preparations. At this time, the "Aida Modu," with its 16-story superstructure, was docked at the shipyard pier. Banners on both sides of the gangway leading up and down the cruise ship read: "China's dream of a cruise ship sets sail from here."
在中国、美国、意大利三国企业签署备忘录协议近七年后，中国首制大邮轮“爱达·魔都”号将于2024年1月1日从上海母港出发，开启日本、韩国航线首航。
Nearly seven years after companies in China, the U.S., and Italy signed a memorandum of agreement, China's first domestically produced large cruise ship, the "Aida Modu," is set to depart from its home port in Shanghai on January 1, 2024, embarking on its maiden voyage to Japan and South Korea.
