The ship is built to the latest polar parameter standards, meets the highest safety level, meets USPH, USCG and other related specifications, and meets the requirements of ship ice and polar service. Its advanced and unique features are in a leading position in the world. .

 

This is China's first self-built cruise ship and the first polar expedition cruise ship in the history of Chinese shipbuilding.

 

For a long time, luxury cruise ships have been a crowning “Pearl” that has not been overcome by China's shipbuilding industry. The construction of cruise ships has long been monopolized by a few foreign countries. The trial test marks a solid step in the local construction of China's cruise ships, and will lead domestic shipbuilding enterprises to embark on a new journey of “made in China”. For the China Merchants Group, the Polar Adventure Cruise is the starting point for its entry into luxury cruise manufacturing.

The role of the piping system in the ship is like the blood vessels in the human body, maintaining the normal operation of the ship. The non-power piping of the ship uses plastic pipes to reduce the ship's own weight while resisting corrosion. The Polar Expedition Cruises have strict requirements on pipelines. In addition to the conventional requirements, high requirements are placed on low flame spread, smoke toxicity, hygienic performance and weight.
