A CRUISE from one of the world's leading cruise companies, British Princess Cruises, will debut in Shenzhen in five months, the Shenzhen Economic Daily cited a visiting Princess delegation as saying Wednesday (Mar 1).

Shenzhen is believed to be a growing potential market for cruises with astonishing economic growth, which makes the expenditure affordable for an increasing number of people, the report said. The city has two cruise clubs so far.

A cruise usually costs at least 200,000 yuan (US$24,660) while a deluxe one will cost at least 10 million yuan. The price for a mid-level cruise stands at around 1 million yuan, the report said.
