The Adora Magic City, China's first homegrown large cruise ship, departed from Shanghai on Saturday, marking the launch of the country's first-ever cruise-to-nowhere voyage.
Unlike traditional cruises, the new itinerary involves the ship leaving from and returning to its home port, Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal, without making any stops, cruising solely on the high seas.
The three-day, two-night voyage from Saturday to early Monday offers passengers a relaxed, immersive experience without the need to rush from one port to another.

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP JUST HAD HIS WORST MELTDOWN EVER.

Trump completely unravels when Kristen Welker challenged him on his California election claims.

Instead of providing evidence, he called her "crooked" and "stupid," attacked the press, and abruptly WALKS OUT in the middle of the interview.

She did what every journalist should do every time Trump spews his unfounded bullsh*t.

Thank you, Kristen.
