Tianjin's cruise port in north China is expected to handle more than 100,000 passenger trips during the summer vocation this year, according to the local border inspection authorities.

The cruise port handled nearly 35,000 inbound and outbound passenger trips from July 1 to 22, along with 14 cruise ship visits, marking a year-on-year increase of 17 percent, data showed.

On Wednesday morning alone, the Adora Mediterranea Cruise docked at the Tianjin International Cruise Home Port with nearly 2,000 passengers, adding to the port's growing traffic.

The cruise vessel, along with the Dream cruise ship, sets out every five days.

In addition, the Adora Mediterranea Cruise will launch a 12-day, 11-night summer voyage to Hokkaido on August 7, while the CM Yidun cruise ship -- China's first luxury cruise ship flying the national flag -- is scheduled to visit Tianjin on August 22.

"It is perfect for family travel. The facilities, the living condition, and food on the ship are very good. We really like it," said a visitor.

Responding to the peak-season traffic, Tianjin border inspection authorities have deployed patrol robots to facilitate boarding and disembarkation procedures, greatly reducing processing time.

"We've formed a data model and applied data analysis to implement dynamic inspection known as 'tidal lane' approach. During the peak periods, we will open additional inspection lanes in advance, which significantly cut the waiting time," said Li Yong, an officer at the Dongjiang border inspection station.

In a bid to capitalize on the summer tourism boom, Tianjin has also launched the "One Ticket to Explore Dongjiang" initiative, offering discounts on accommodation, dining, and consumption at scenic spots in Dongjiang area for cruise ticket holders.
