5. The ship carried 458 people, with 406 domestic tourists, five travel agency workers and 47 crew members. 97 are from Shanghai, 204 from Jiangsu, 11 from Zhejiang, 43 from Tianjin, 23 from Shandong, 19 from Fujian and 8 from Anhui.
6. Since tourists did not purchase their tickets based on real names, it is difficult to get accurate information about passengers. It is believed that most of the passengers are seniors aged 50-80 organized by a travel agency from Shanghai. When the tragedy happened, most people onboard were about to sleep. The cruise tour was expected to last about 10 days at more than 2,000 yuan per ticket, according to relatives of the passengers.
