Cruises are hugely popular among Americans, who make up half of the global market since this form of travel became popular in the early 1980s, but they are only just starting to take off in China.

Less than 1 percent of Chinese outbound travelers choose this kind of vacation compared with 2 to 3 percent in North America and Europe.

Of the 114 million outbound trips made by Chinese last year, 739,600 decided to sail. Industry pundits expect the number will hit a cool 1 million this year, while the Ministry of Transport predicts a jump to 4.5 million cruises booked by 2020.

Even though Shanghai is one of five home ports for cruise liners in China, it accounts for over 60 percent of all the trips made, according to online travel agency Ctrip.com.

The other ports are in Tianjin, Qingdao in Shandong province, Fujian's Xiamen and Zhoushan of Zhejiang.

Chinese travelers prefer to stay close to home when making their first overseas trip so the domestic cruise industry will see an initial jump in voyages to South Korea and Japan, said Cheng Juehao, a professor at Shanghai Maritime University who specializes in studying cruises. Major international operators have noted the trend and are steadily increasing their investments to further tap the China market, he said.

After operating in the country for almost a decade, Costa decided to launch longer and more creative products this year, including six- to 10-day trips to South Korea and Japan and a special around-the-world program.

Royal Caribbean International also launched its fifth ocean liner in the region last month, giving it the largest fleet deployment for any cruise operator in China, according to CEO Michael Bayley.

It now has home ports in four Chinese metropolises - Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong and Xiamen - and will focus on three- to 12-night itineraries to Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, he said.
