sun cruise resort and yacht korea

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.

Beautiful journey.”

It was my birthday. My husband and I made a sudden reservation and came here. When we came here a long time ago when our child was young, there was no beach cruise, but now that we stayed in a room with a swimming pool, I felt regretful that I couldn't play with my child like I did when she was young because she has grown up now. The hotel is beautiful, blending in with nature, the rooms are comfortable, the private swimming pool is great, the hotel food is delicious, everything was perfect and it was a cozy and memorable rest. I will come back again.~

Best stay ever in South Korea”

Amazing hotel, clean room, clean bathroom, clean balcony, clean kitchen. Looks and feels better than the pictures shown on the internet. Our stay was really comfortable. Whenever I called them they managed to speak in English with me. The hotel restaurant is great. I'm a vegetarian, so I made a request for vegetarian pasta and they accommodated my request and served only tomato pasta. Pizza was great too. Everyone was polite and helpful. Room cleaning was done every single day of our stay. There's also a play area for the kids to spend time. The views are breathtaking and the beach is not too far from the hotel. A convenience store is also available at the hotel with pretty much everything required for a stay. And the bakery on the first floor was amazing with plenty of options to choose from. I wish to visit here again and would definitely recommend it to others.

Came back again... love it”

Fantastic Stay! Our stay at this property was absolutely fantastic! The value for money, location, cleanliness, staff, and facilities were all exceptional. The parking was convenient, providing ease of access to the property. We were blown away by the breathtaking view from our room, which added an extra touch of magic to our stay. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable experience. The amenities provided were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We had a wonderful night's sleep in the cozy and comfortable bed. Overall, we highly recommend this property for an amazing stay!

Didn't Dissapoint”

I only had one night but thoroughly enjoyed my stay. To see the sunrise was stunning and the surrounding gardens and sculpture park were lovely to wander through. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. My only complaints are that the pool was empty and apparently they don't take solo traveller bookings but when I explained I booked through third party platform and this wasn't mentioned on it they were fine to let me stay.

Suggestions, sun cruise resort: the world’s first on-land cruise ship at gangwon-do.

A peculiar and insta-worthy seaside resort in Gangneung.

If I were to pick the most peculiar hotel experience in South Korea, Sun Cruise Resort & Yacht located at Jeongdongjin Beach (정동진 해수욕장) in Gangwon-do would be on the list. It is the world’s first on-land cruise ship — Yes, you read that right. It is a cruise ship built atop a cliff that is overlooking the magnificent East Sea of South Korea.

This beachside hotel & resort takes all the joy of a cruise ship and combines it with the convenience of an on-land seaside resort, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. We don’t know how exactly the engineers and architect managed to get the 30,000 tons ship up the cliff, some joke that it may be cast ashore like Noah’s Ark after the flood, but it is certainly an interesting sight especially when you’re at the Jeongdongjin Beach.

Looking for an interesting resort experience in Gangneung? Read on further!

The resort is located on a cliff along the pristine Jeongdongjin beach & Jeondongjin Train Station (전동진역), the train station closest to the ocean in the world. The beach is known as one of South Korea’s best sunrise spots, attracting thousands of sunrise spectators each year, especially on new year’s day.

I took an overnight Mugunghwa Train from Seoul’s Cheongnyangni station (청량리역) to Gangneung’s Jeongdongjin Station. What welcomes me at Jeongdongjin Train Station in the wee hours of the morning was this spectacular view below —

The resort was basking in the beautiful golden sunlight in the early morning. While the overnight train was tiring, the sight when we arrived at the beach was truly memorable.

The resort is located near Jeongdongjin beach which stretches over 250 meters with 3 swimming spots, it is also very near to the Jeongdongjin Railbike Station. Next to the hotel is Sandglass Park (모래시계공원) and Sculpture Park (정동진 조각공원) so you can wander through bushes of blossoming flowers in spring and autumn.

The Property

The resort has two ships that are specially built by the shipyards before moving to the seaside – the older “Sun Cruise” is 165 metres long, and 45 metres high. It has a bakery, a restaurant, a sky lounge, karaoke, banquet halls, a convenience store and an infinity pool.

The new “Beach Cruise” is a ship with exclusive pool villas where guests can enjoy private pools that links to their room. There is also an observation deck with a glass floor suspended above the crashing waves below.

The resort offers a wide variety of room types. The Sun Cruise is made up of Hotel & Apartment styled rooms. All room types in the old wing are either Ocean or Sunrise Half-Ocean facing rooms. There are Standard, Deluxe, Luxury, Junior Suites, Corner Suites and Suncruise Suites to choose from. The Apartment styled room comes with a small pantry where guests can prepare simple dishes in the room.

At the newly built Beach Cruise, guests enjoy the luxury of a private pool right in their pool villas. Various room types come with a pool: The Royal Suite, Superior Suite, Infinity Pool Suite; and the Duplex Suite & Terrace Suite includes a sea-facing jacuzzi within the room.

Breakfast takes place at the Sun Cruise, where guests can enjoy the scenic view of the East Sea and Sculpture Park. During our stay, it was the Typhoon season so we did not get to enjoy the typical blue sky and emerald sea views. However, the strong waves and misty waters of the East Sea during the wet season did leave a strong impression.

From a glace of their recent tags on Instagram, their breakfast variety has greatly improved too!

Instagrammable Spots

The hotel has undergone an uplifting refurbishment and has added a few Instagrammable spots you wouldn’t want to miss. These aesthetic spots with clear blue sky, turquoise waters, white sand beaches and bird’s eye views are perfect to satisfy your dreamy vacation needs. Let’s take a look at the photos taken at the resort!

Photo Spot #1: Observation Deck Staircase

You’ll find this “stairway to heaven” right within the hotel premise, where you can climb up the stairs that are leading up to a view of the East Sea. With the perfect weather and some magic hour, your photos would turn out great.

Photo Spot #2: Infinity Pool

Located on the top of the seashore cliff is the resort’s picturesque outdoor infinity pool. You can breathe in the expansive view of the East Sea and enjoy leisure time lounging at the poolside.

Photo Spot #3: Hotel’s Sky Lounge & Restaurant

At the resort’s 360 degrees rotating Sky Lounge, you can enjoy the endlessly stretched view of the East Sea while sipping your coffee. For cocktail and wine aficionados, you’ll be spoilt for choice here.

Photo Spot #4: Room Balcony

Don’t miss the photo opportunity at your room’s balcony once you checked into the room! The emerald sea makes the best background for the perfect holiday shoot! If you are staying in the Infinity Pool Suite, make full use of the magic hours for that dreamy shot in the pool, by the sea!

Writer’s Note: Sun Cruise Resort is a cool resort to stay in while in Gangneung. It is very near to the beach, which makes it the perfect summer holiday resort to wind down and chill. If you have a few more days to spare in Gangneung, it will make perfect sense to spend a leisure 2D1N here at this property and enjoy the resort facilities! After all, you shouldn’t be rushing in & out to complete your tour schedule while leaving the nice pool villa empty throughout your stay.

One thing you might need to take note of is to avoid the summer Monsoon season or occasion Typhoon season as the rain can be rather merciless and worst of all, it can last a few days.

Sun Cruise Resort and Yacht: South Korea

Destinations

It looks as though a cruise ship has somehow managed to perch itself on the top of a cliff, doesn’t it? Well, it’s actually a building that was created to emulate a cruise ship, located in Jeongdongjin on the east coast of South Korea. It first opened its doors – or pulled up its gangplanks – in 2002.

Yes, it’s a hotel with guest rooms, business facilities, six restaurants, a pool, sports facilities and exactly what you’d expect from a hotel these days. But I think they went rather overboard (sorry) when the owners decided that there should be a constantly-playing soundtrack so that guests can listen to the sound of authentic waves crashing against the ‘hull’ and squealing seabirds while they enjoy their ‘cruise’.

The views though are incredible. especially the sunrises. However some reviewers from a few years ago mentioned that twenty minutes before the sun rises, alarms go off in all the rooms to remind guests to haul themselves out of bed to ensure that they don’t miss the spectacular dawning of the day.

I think that it’s truly a fascinating sight to see but whether I’d enjoy a stay there is another matter – maybe a night or two just for the novelty value. I guess that it would be an excellent solution for someone who would love to experience a cruise but who suffers from seasickness!

Understandably, reviews are somewhat mixed. Read them here.

Sun Cruise Hotel, South Korea

Sun Cruise Hotel is one of a kind "cruise ship hotel" in South Korea. The "aground ship" hotel is part of the "Sun Cruise Resort and Yacht" complex in Jeongdongjin, on South Korea's eastern coast. The resort is popular for its "run aground cruise ship" shaped hotel offering an amazing view from atop of a cliff. Hotel's ship dimensions are: length 541 ft (165 m), height / keel to funnel 148 ft (45 m), weight 30,000 tons.

Korea's "Sun Cruise" ship hotel

Sun Cruise resort in Jeongdongjin is located on Korean shores of Sea of Japan (South Korea promotes the name "East Sea"). Resort's location is perfect as the Sea of Japan, like the Mediterranean Sea, is calm (almost without tides) as it's almost entirely enclosed from the Pacific Ocean by mainland Japan, Russia, and Korea.

Kore'as Sun Cruise hotel was specifically designed to overlook the sunny beach of this beautiful resort area, looking like a cruise ship and offering facilities and amenities just like real liners. The cruise ship hotel attracts a huge number of international tourists. Its shape actually resembles a Royal Caribbean ship of the company's older Sovereign-Class. There are 3 such vessels, currently operated by RCCL's subsidiary Pullmantur Cruises .

Looking out over the sea and witnessing the magnificent Jeongdongjin sunrise and sunset, the "ship hotel" is itself a travel destination. The unusual design ranked it among the most popular South Korean tourist attractions.

Built in 2002, this colossal hotel structure actually was invented for tourists who don't have the budget or time to go on a real ship cruise vacation. The bizarre location is not the only thing setting Sun Cruise Hotel apart from real liners - hotel rooms are all with heated floors, and the surrounding area has walking gardens with sculptures.

South Korea's cruise ship hotel was designed to emulate the cruising experience. It was even constructed at the Korean shipyard. A hotel stay truly approximates cruise voyage. Constructed high on the mountain edge, a stroll on the "open deck" provides guests with the feeling of being at sea. To further allusion, the "cruise ship hotel" even plays on speakers' bird calls and sounds of wave crashing - throughout the whole hotel area.

Hotel rooms, prices, "shipboard" facilities

• The hotel offers a total of 211 rooms, including bedrooms and apartments. All staterooms have heated floors.
• Six restaurants that serve European and Korean food, along with a rotating bar on the top floor, give visitors panoramic views of the famed sunrises.
• A night club and karaoke, beautiful sky lounge, and seawater swimming pool were also made to pamper.
• Six function rooms, state-of-the-art, were specially designed for workshops and seminars.
• Sporting facilities - for the more dynamic guests, include a fitness club, volleyball court, netted golf range.
• Visitors can stop by adjacent to the Sun Cruise Hotel theme park and further the experience.
• The Sun Cruise Hotel and Resort is also famous for the "Hands of Promise" located within landscaped gardens and rising from the ground, together with other sculptures' variety.
• An observation area, which is made of glass floor suspending above the sea, is among the amenities, along with the exhibition hall and the lake.
• Prices for a room at Jeongdongjin's Sun Cruise Hotel start at 80,000 South Korean Won, which is ~US$70 per night.

The resort complex also has a yacht marina with 5 boat slots, helipad (helicopter landing platform) and its own bar lounge.

In 2003, a construction with a similar theme ("Titanic Hotel") started in Turkey (Titanic Beach Lara). The Turkish resort has 550 hotel rooms, 3 swimming pools, premium Flower Shop, Toy Shop. At the cost of USD 165 million, in China was built an RMS Titanic replica hotel .

The South Korean Sun Cruise Resort & Yacht complex in Jeongdongjin is the first in the world on-land themed cruise resort. The "cruise ship hotel" provides everything a real ship can offer, except the seasickness risk. Thankfully, this boat doesn't rock - at least the owners assure so. But better be careful around the bow because the only thing which separates guests from the below cliffs is a short railing - beware if you suffer from vertigo.
