🚢🌃A Luxurious Evening on Cruise along Shanghai’s Yangpu River 🚢🌃

Step aboard The Merry Star, the most luxurious cruise ship on the Yangpu River, and experience Shanghai from a perspective that feels both cinematic and timeless. The moment I stepped onto the marble-decked interior, with its glittering chandeliers and elegant lounge spaces, I knew this was more than just a cruise — it was a floating palace. The highlight was gliding past Shanghai’s dazzling skyline at night. From the deck, the view stretched from the iconic Lujiazui towers to the illuminated bridges arching over the Yangpu. With live classical music in the background and a glass of sparkling wine in hand, the journey felt like a private gala on the water. Practical Info: Location/Transport: The Merry Star departs from Yangpu Riverside Wharf, easily accessible by metro (Line 12, Ningguo Road Station, then a short taxi ride). Activities: Evening cruises are the most spectacular, especially during golden hour leading into nightfall. Don’t miss the open-air deck for panoramic photos. Food & Drinks: A curated dinner buffet with international cuisine and premium wines is included (expect ~¥600–800 per ticket depending on the package). Pro Tip: Book early to secure a window-side table, and bring a light jacket for the breezy upper deck. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to indulge in Shanghai’s elegance, The Merry Star is the perfect blend of modern luxury and old-world romance. #localguides #shanghailuxury #yangpurivercruise #merrystar #shanghainightlife #travelinstyle #hiddenshanghai #luxuryexperiences #tripmoments
