Tianjin Oriental Targeting February Start with Ideal
Tianjin Oriental will go from one ships to two in late February with the introduction of the Ideal, which is the former Costa Magica.
The Chinese-owned brand took delivery of the 2,720-guest, 2004-built ship in Greece, having bought it from Seajets, who acquired it from Carnival Corporation during the pandemic.
Seajets had renamed the ship the Vision and had intended to sail cruises under the Neonyx brand, but postponed its start up indefinitely.
