The world’s first on-land cruise ship, this hotel takes all the joy of a cruise ship and combines it with the usefulness of staying in one place.
The sound of waves lapping at the hull is simulated, so you can imagine you are on a cruise.
The location is on a cliff at Jeongdongjin beach, renowned for having the best sunrise in Korea. The revolving bar and lounge on the top floor allow you the best sunrise and sunset view.
From the urban side of Jeongdongjin, the ship looks like it was run ashore. But in reality, it's perched off a high cliff.
The boat is 541 feet (165 meters) long, 148 feet (45 meters) high, and weighs an incredible 30,000 tons.
God knows how they got it up on the cliff in the first place… perhaps it was stranded up there like Noah’s Ark after the flood.
Jeongdongjin is a popular tourist destination thanks to its beautiful beaches and stunning sunrise/sunset views.
The hotel's grand entrance is along two pools, split like the Red Sea by Moses and decorated by statues on both sides.
The circular lounge's focus-point is a piano standing right in the center of the space.
You will be spoiled for a choice of things to do as there is a lounge, nightclub, karaoke bar, seawater pool, and two restaurants.
Your room is a nautical-themed condominium or hotel-style room and features a luxurious bed and entertainment center.
Check out the observation deck with its glass floor suspended above the crashing waves. It looks exactly how you imagine a luxury ocean cruiser to be.
The dolphin-shaped outdoor pool is dotted with sun loungers, and thanks to its elevated position, the panorama is amazing from here.
The ship is next to a park with a sculpture garden so you can wander through curios and beautiful flowers.
