Adora Cruises Limited[1] (formerly CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping) is a Chinese-American cruise line that was scheduled to begin operation in 2020, but was delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic.
History
CSSC Carnival was founded in October 2015 as a joint venture, worth about $4 billion over ten years, between United Kingdom and United States' Carnival Corporation & plc, Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation, and Chinese shipbuilder China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).[2] CSSC Carnival is headquartered in Hong Kong and is majority owned by the Chinese shareholders, which collectively own 60% of the company, with Carnival holding the remainder.[2] In September 2016, the company announced plans to order two new ships, with options for two more, with deliveries planned to begin in 2022.[3]
