tx121 Posted October 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Was just browsing around and saw this article about a hotel on the cliff in South Korea. When I saw the pictures, it reminded me of one of Royal Caribbeans older ships. What stood out was on top there is something that looks like the Viking Crown and also the back looks very similar to the Monarch and Sovereign. http://www.sliptalk.com/cliff-ship/?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=cliff-ship It's called the Sun Cruise hotel. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisingthesuitelife Posted October 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2014 No it isn't. As far as I know it was specifically built to resemble a cruise ship and isn't a former cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Sure looks like a Viking Crown, but I don't remember a Royal ship that looks like that hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaveitallbehind Posted October 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) It does look like they could have had it mind to build the hotel to vaguely represent the old RCI Sun Viking. There is a resemblance IMO - the VCR is a pretty telling RCI feature! :) Edited October 11, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerferWarmWeather Posted October 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The South Korean company Hyundai did buy the Sun Viking for cruises in that area. I believe another South Korean then bought her for a overnight gambling ship. So this might be the final resting place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxoocruiser Posted October 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2014 No It was built specifically built & designed to be in the image of a cruise ship, the hotel is 165 meters (541 ft.) long and 45 meters (148 ft.) tall . It opened in 2002 and has approximately 211 guest rooms. Just do a GOOGLE search as there much information about this hotel on the internet.

MichaelCMTX Posted October 11, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2014 No Just do a GOOGLE search as there much information about this hotel on the internet. As this poster suggested, it seems to look weird proportionally to have ever been an actual ship. Too short front to back and too tall top to bottom.
