MV China Star (????) is the world's largest ship with a SWATH design, and the only twin-hull cruise ship ever built. It has operated in Hong Kong as the gambling ship Asia Star for Asia Cruises. This 350-person all balcony luxury cruise ship was the largest SWATH ship in the world when it was built, displacing more than 11,500 tons when originally known as the Radisson Diamond and built in Finland.
In June 2011, the ship was purchased for $45M by China Cruises Company Limited, the deal being led by Chinese millionaire entrepreneur Huang Weijian, CEO of CCCL. Another $20M was spent refurbishing her. Operation started on March 9, 2012, as the first ship of the new CCCL luxury cruise line.
