    Default Name of ship?

    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
    Brian

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

    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.
