“Over the course of the year we expect to welcome a number of cruise ships to our moorings,” said the cruise port’s authority. “Cruise ships give passengers the unique experience of waking in one of China’s most popular tourist cities, within easy reach of major tourist sites, such as the Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone and Sanya Bay.”

In recent years, the Phoenix Island International Cruise Terminal has concentrated on innovation in order to expand the number of cruise liners, of different sizes, that use the port.
