Sunset Experience Aboard a Luxury Yacht at at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai has partnered with the new Shanghai Metropolitan Marine Yacht Club, which is located adjacent to the hotel on Pudong's Harbour City riverfront, to offer a spellbinding waterborne experience of Shanghai's landmark sites and dazzling skyline.

Guests staying in a Pearl Tower Suite category and above can opt to experience the Sunset City Cruise during their stay. The atmospheric adventure begins with a complimentary glass of Champagne at the Club Lounge. Guests will then be escorted to the marina to board the luxury yacht.

The journey transports Mandarin Oriental guests along Shanghai's famous Huangpu River, passing between the heritage buildings of The Bund and the neon-lit skyline of Pudong, dominated by the new 650-metre-high Shanghai Tower, the world's second-tallest tower. A Mandarin Oriental butler will be on board to point out the city's premier landmarks and snap souvenir photographs of the experience.

Following the magical Sunset City Cruise, the hotel will be happy to pre-book a table at one of the hotel's restaurants, should guests wish to dine in-house. Zest offers a more casual dining ambience while Fifty 8 Grill showcases contemporary French cuisine created by award-winning chef Richard Ekkebus. Alternatively, Yong Yi Ting has a menu of delicious regional Jiang Nan cuisine.

Sunset City Cruises along the Huangpu River are offered seven days a week for adults and children aged 12 years and above. Each cruise must be booked 48 hours in advance, and is subject to availability. Dining in-house is a separate cost and not included in this package.
