Description
'Happy Captain' is a premium cruise brand on the Huangpu River and an iconic aquatic cultural tourism attraction in Shanghai, departing from Shiliupu Terminal 3. Its fleet boasts highly creative designs. The flagship vessel, Captain No.8, is Shanghai’s first 4-star antique pirate-themed cruise ship. Designed as a three-masted retro sailing ship with European vintage interior decoration, it features photo spots such as antique wooden rudders and capstans on open decks, making it a popular social-media landmark in Shanghai. Other distinctive vessels including the 'Space Fortress' are also available for selection.
The classic cruise route covers the highlights on both banks of the Huangpu River: Shiliupu Terminal 3 → Pudong Riverside Boulevard → Lujiazui (Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center) → North Bund → Waibaidu Bridge → the Bund’s International Architecture Complex → New Shiliupu Scenic Belt, before returning to the terminal. The cruise lasts around 2 hours. Visitors may admire architectural scenery in the daytime. At night, the river is lit up spectacularly. The century-old exotic buildings on the west bank and modern skyscrapers on the east bank set each other off, fully embodying Shanghai’s spirit of embracing diversity.
Well-equipped with open sun decks, VIP private rooms, performance stages, LED screens and bars, the cruise offers buffet meals and live shows. Guests can enjoy delicious food while appreciating river views. Besides sightseeing, it provides full-ship charter services for business events, waterfront weddings, corporate annual galas and private parties. Integrating sightseeing, catering, performances, conferences and leisure, it delivers a well-rounded experience of Shanghai’s unique charm as a riverside metropolis.
