Name of ship?

[Captain Kong]

Does anyone know the name of this cruise ship and its owners,??
It is not a quiz,
I was in Hong Kong two weeks ago and it was laid up at the buoys near to Kai Tak. and looked deserted. It had no name on it.

Cheers

Very similar design to the old Song of Norway but she was broken up in 2014 as the Formosa Queen.

Brian,

Its the ORIENTAL DRAGON --- Ex Sun Viking - Super Star Sagittarius - Hyundai Pongnae - Omar III - Long Jie .

Owners are - Capital Dragon Global Holding Ltd. - Hong Kong - China - part of Oceanic Group International Ltd.

Would appear that she is still operational and presently cruising under the Panama Flag.

Hi Chris.
Any idea on what looks like a viewing platform or rear wheelhouse is behind the funnel ?

Think it's a lecture room for foreign tourists on Chinese Democracy as it disappears over the horizon

Hi Des,

It is a passenger lounge. There is no information as to the class of the lounge so I presume it is available to all the passengers. Apparently it was a bit of a gimmick in its time.
