How about staying in a floating hotel? An actual real sized Asain-based cruise ship is being transformed into a floating hotel. Guests will be able to enjoy the full onboard experience just like at sea and the vessel will be open for business during the biggest Chinese holiday of the year.
The ship in question is SuperStar Gemini which is operated by Asain-based Star Cruises. Between February 7th – 16th the ship will become a floating hotel in the popular Chinese cruise destination of Sanya located in Hainan province, South China. SuperStar Gemini will be docked at the Sanya Phoenix Island International Port.
Mr. Ang Moo Lim, President of Star Cruises, said:
“As a pioneer of the cruise industry in the Asia Pacific, Star Cruises is committed to developing unique products for travelers in the region. In response to market demands, Star Cruises is now introducing the first-ever Floating Hotel concept in Sanya to provide a unique holiday experience with inclusive dining and entertainment, for a new and exciting way for guests to usher in the Chinese New Year.”
