Yan Ting, the director of Chinese Taishan, said, "We have planned a series of activities to suit all age groups, and we have more than 350 staff to provide tailored services for tourists of different ages."

Taking a cruise has become increasingly popular among Chinese people as a holiday option and the industry has benefited from favorable visa policies in both South Korea and Japan. A vacation on a cruise liner offers tourists an exotic experience and an enjoyable travel experience with the whole family.
