Juche Cruise

Oberon · 09-03-11, 05:32 AM

The DPRK has requisitioned an old ferry, which in turn was once an old freighter, to be the nations first cruise liner!

9700 tons. 2 fish, 2.5 degree spread at 700 meters.

Certainly looks 'luxurious' when compared to my lads ship

Wow! The accommodations looks positively luxurious. Sign me up!

All it needs an asexual pant-suited woman dancing awkwardly while a government employee sings bizarre North Korean karaoke and this trip is as good as booked. Wait what’s this?

Oh, and if you're lucky you'll get to dine at the Captain's Table. Bon appetit!

$310 sounds a bit like extortion. Based on pictures from this "cruise ship" you could make more than one "Day in Stockholm/Helsinki" cruises departing either from Helsinki or Stockholm in economy. I also think that those cruise ferries economy class provides more comfortable stay. Downside ofcourse that only breakfast is included in price.

I'm sure this "cruise" is a bit more exotic option but someone still needs 9mm pistol to "persuade" me to attend.

Some details from the "cruise ship" by Helsingin Sanomat newspaper. Ships luxuries include running water - sometimes. Instead of boring so usual clear water, onboard Mangyongbyong water is of elegant brown colour. One more nice touch is day's dinner - dried fish.

Personally I'm not sure do I want to know why water is brown...

it's clearly because the loyal korean proletariat have no need of such luxuries as being free of major viral infections

Why would the dear leader have to read these decadent pieces of western literature for his inspiration?

the North Koreans did it first!
