S. Serenity distinguished itself from other Yangtze
River ships by its design and shape. Its hull is made
of closed glass curtain wall, which gives her a highly
faired style, that only the luxurious ocean liners possess.
The US - made glass curtain walls, which have a green
coating, continuously reflect the beautiful scenery
on both sides of the Yangtze River. When the scenery
changes, the reflection on the hull changes at the same
time. Just imagine that green mountains, blue water,
small bridges and villages on the bank all merged on
a shiny, floating luxury resort. In fact, the ship is
now a sight to be seen on the Yangtze River.
Built
in 1993 and last furbished in 1996, this four-deck
vessel is 91.3 meters long, 16.4 meters wide, with
a gross tonnage of 5191 and a draft of 2.6 meters.
One thing worth of mentioning is that cabins on MS.
Serenity are considerably larger than same class
cabins on other Yangtze cruise ships. The size of
a standard room is more than 19 square meters, compared
with 10 to 16 square meters on other ships. The classic
and aristocratic interior was designed with the consultations
of some top western designers. The floors of public
rooms and private cabins are carpeted with handmade
pure wool. Well-equipped business center is made of
marbles, coopers and Thai woods. All the sanitary
equipment is made in Italy. The multifunctional entertainment
hall, which can be divided into several sections,
covers an area of 1200 square meters and can hold
500 guests.
Service
on MS. Serenity is managed by a well-known international
hotel management corporation. Comprehensive service
facilities include shops, business center, IDD telephone
booth, hair and beauty salon, health center, recreation
center, Karaoke room, coffee shop, sauna and massage,
dining hall that serves both Chinese and Western food
on the Sundeck. The ship also boasts a small orchestra
of foreign musicians.
