sun cruise resort and yacht in south 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.

This is a popular property. Don't miss out!

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.
