CM Yi Dun Cruise Ship
Introduction: """CM Yi Dun"" is the first China-flagged high-end cruise jointly developed by China Merchants Group and Viking Cruises, praised as a ""5‑star elegant European‑designed luxury hotel at sea"". This Nordic‑designed vessel features only balcony guestrooms across all cabin categories. Onboard there are 7 major restaurants offering global cuisines, including Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese/Korean, and Nordic flavors. Guests can view over 400 artworks, and enjoy opera performances, seafront concerts, and blockbuster films. Formerly as Viking Cruises' “Viking Sun”, “CM Yi Dun” was built by the Italian Fincantieri shipyard in 2017. The ship is 228.2-m long and 28.8-m wide, and has been rated by authoritative industry guides such as the Berlitz Guide and Cruise Critic as one of the world's best small-to-medium cruise ships.

Signage and services in Chinese are available, offering guests a homelike sense of comfort and warmth throughout their voyage. 2) All‑balcony accommodations: every guestroom has a private balcony, providing personal outdoor space. 6 cabin types (ranging from 25 m² to 134.5 m²) are equipped with cozy amenities and 24‑hour room service to ensure a comfortable stay—guests can fall asleep beneath the starry sky and wake to calm seas and scenic horizons. 3) Culinary feast combining Eastern and Western elements: fresh ingredients and the craftsmanship of top chefs deliver distinctive gastronomic surprises. Whether enjoying Cantonese, Sichuan, Huaiyang, or Shandong dishes, classic Italian fare, a poolside burger/barbecue, or a spicy hotpot under the stars, the 7 onboard restaurants serve more than 800 dishes from all around the world—all included as complimentary meals."
