Radisson Diamond

The cruise ship originally named “Radisson Diamond” has also been known as “Omar Star” and “Asia Star” over the years. It was most recently renamed “China Star” in 2011. It is currently being used as a floating casino in the port of Hong Kong and embarks on occasional short cruises to Taiwan.

Radisson Diamond was built by MEYER TURKU with yard number 310. As the world’s first ever cruise ship with a small-waterplane-area twin hull, it was seen as something really special back in 1992. This hull design minimises the vessel’s sensitivity to wave action. And with a tonnage measurement of 20,295 GT, it’s also the largest ship of its type in the world.

Radisson Diamond, now known as “China Star”, can accommodate around 350 guests and features a spacious casino area, several restaurants and bars, a library and a show lounge.
