China baut „Cruises to Nowhere“ aus: Kurzreisen ohne Reisepass boomen
ZitatChina is expanding its "Cruises to Nowhere" concept—sea voyages without foreign port calls—to the southern metropolises of Xiamen, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Following successful trials in Shanghai and Tianjin during the summer of 2026, the Ministry of Transport officially launched the expansion on October 1. During the current national holidays alone, 14 such short voyages are taking place. The major advantage for domestic travelers is that a standard national ID card is sufficient for these mostly three-day trips, completely eliminating the need for a passport or visa.
