CONSTRUCTION has started on the world's most luxurious river cruise liner that will eventually sail between Shanghai and southwestern Chongqing Municipality.
The 15,000-ton ship cost more than 150 million yuan (US$21.97 million) and will sail along China's longest inland river Changjiang River. Shanghai will be the terminal of its seven-day maiden voyage next May, reported Chongqing-based CQnews.net today.
The 136-meter long ship owned by Chongqing Traffic and Travel group will complete regular seven-day trips from Chongqing to Shanghai, said a manager with the cruise operator Gong Li.
Gong said the group will spend more than 2 billion yuan to build 10 such liners and the ships will also offer one-day trips around Chongqing.
The report said the liners are at the maximum size Changjiang River could accommodate.
Equipped with two presidential suites, two restaurants and several cigar bars, the most luxurious will take just 300 passengers.
