M. S. Pinghu 2000
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. Pinghu 2000 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. Pinghu 2000 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.
