On October 10, Xiamen International Cruise Home Port welcomed the "Blue Dream Star" cruise liner, which embarked on its maiden voyage that lasted five days and four nights to Subic, the Philippines, with thousands of tourists on board. This was the first international cruise itinerary from Xiamen after the Ministry of Transport announced the full resumption of international cruise ship transport to and from ports in China in September this year. Notably, the itinerary marked that international cruise lines resumed operation to and from Xiamen and the first "Maritime Silk Road" journey since its halt. (Bo)
