Reporter Sheng Jinyu: I am now standing on the 11th deck of the Aida Modu, and today's first large-scale domestic cruise ship has been hoisted with full flags, welcoming its commercial maiden voyage with a sense of ceremony. Nearly 1,300 crew members from 28 countries and regions are also in place early in the morning, because in less than one hour, passengers participating in the inaugural voyage will start boarding the ship and start their seven-day, six-night cruise. The cruise will operate a Northeast Asia route and will call at Jeju in South Korea and Nagasaki and Fukuoka in Japan.
In order to welcome the maiden voyage, the atrium of the cruise ship running through the deck has been replaced with a new New Year's decoration, with a strong Chinese style, which looks particularly festive. This is the first stop for visitors to board the ship, and a welcome party is about to start here, welcoming everyone who embarks on the first voyage.
Reporter Sheng Jinyu: As a luxury cruise ship, tourists are not only concerned about food and accommodationAnd how about the experience of activities on the cruise?
The beach club was a popular spot during the two operational trials. Nowadays, when you sail to the sea, you can open according to the weather conditions, lie in the heated pool, or on a beach chair, and you can enjoy the sun** and sea breeze on the sea.
In addition to the comfortable enjoyment, the Aida Modu is also a smart cruise ship, and the onboard network communication system, through the 5G network application, the whole ship can be covered with Wi-Fi, and passengers can get a network experience that is no less than that on land.
It is understood that the passengers of the maiden flight come from all over the country, and the age span is also very large, the youngest is in his teens, and the oldest is over 80 years old. There are family outings with families, and there are also group trips between friends. Through the inquiries of tourists when booking, we learned that everyone is proud, curious and full of expectations for the first domestically produced large cruise ship. We know that large cruise ships are known as the "crown jewels" of the shipbuilding industry because of their difficulty in building. Now, this dazzling "pearl" has been picked. On the first day of the new year, we also hope that this "pearl" can bring a comfortable and wonderful tour experience to tourists from all over the country, so that it can set sail and sail into the distance at the beginning of the new year with everyone's expectations for a better life.
Eating hot pot and watching the sea view, the art activities are distinctive.
After reading the preparations for the maiden voyage of the first domestic large cruise ship, we will take you "on board" for an early experience.
Two days ago, the reporter of the main station participated in the trial operation of the cruise ship, and followed the reporter's lens to get a sneak peek of what was delicious, fun and beautiful on board.
CCTV reporter Wu Tianbai: The first thing we did when we came to the cruise ship was to check in, and the location we came up from was the atrium of the cruise ship. After checking in at the front desk, we received a room key with our name and room number, and we will go to the room to have a look now.
CCTV reporter Wu Tianbai: Take the elevator, through the long corridor, we will arrive at a warm and tidy room, there is also a balcony in the room, where you can listen to the sea breeze, enjoy the sea view, bask in the sun, and enjoy a good leisure time.
Along the stairs we come to the 5th deck of the cruise ship, a gathering place for specialty restaurants where passengers can choose what they want to eat according to their tastes. If you want to eat a wide variety of food, don't worry, there are three buffet restaurants in the bow, middle and stern. For lunch, we'll settle it at the hot pot restaurant.
CCTV reporter Wu Tianbai: The staff on board told me that ordinary cruise ships are not equipped with hot pot restaurants, because the ship will shake when it is at sea, and the hot pot soup can easily splash out. And our domestic cruise ship not only has a good control of the weight of the center of gravity, but also a pair of stabilizer fins on both sides of the ship, which can reduce the roll of about 88, so that tourists can rest assured that they can talk and eat around the fireplace, and behind such small details also reflect the hard core power of China's shipbuilding technology!
CCTV reporter Wu Tianbai: The 3rd-4th-5th deck of the cruise ship is the main leisure place for passengers, where you can provide drinks, coffee and other drinks.
In addition, the ship's theater and club also bring a variety of cultural activities such as drama performances and film screenings to visitors.
CCTV reporter Wu Tianbai: There is also an art gallery on the cruise ship that attracts the attention of the audience, and walking along the 4th deck, we came to the "Nian Nian Dunhuang" art exhibition jointly organized by the cruise ship and the Dunhuang Academy. This art exhibition carefully selected 16 classic Dunhuang murals.
Trial operation passenger Shengxing: You can calm down and stroll in the corridor to feel the historical origin of Chinese culture.
Passenger Guo Weitong: This ship feels very wonderful to me, and it has oriental characteristics. This is also our first domestically produced large cruise ship, and I feel very proud.
