FOUR state-owned enterprises in China are consolidating to operate what has become the largest fleet in Asia, led by China Tourism Group and industry partners.

Huaxia International Cruise will control the cruise operations of the four entities, which will continue to operate independently: China Tourism Group, China Cosco Shipping, China Merchants Group and China State Shipbuilding Corporation.

Between them, the four companies run five cruise ships carrying more than 16,000 passengers, Chinese news website Caixin reported.

Huaxia manages ships including Adora Magic City, Adora Mediterranea, Piano Land, Nanhai Dream and the upcoming Adora Flora City, which is under construction.
