Sun Cruise Resort & Yacht is a hotel resort located in Jeongdongjin on the east coast of South Korea. It is designed to resemble a cruise ship, particularly the Royal Caribbean International Sovereign class, and stands 165 meters long and 45 meters tall, offering views of the beach. The hotel sits atop a cliff, giving the illusion of a grounded cruise ship.
