MS ''Henna'' is a ''Holiday''-class cruise ship owned by the Chinese company ''HNA Cruise Company, Limited'' around the West Pacific region. At 47,000 tons, ''Henna'' is a medium-sized ship, and is the first and largest luxury cruise liner in mainland China, with 739 passenger cabins and a maximum passenger capacity of 1,965, including nine suites with balconies, 432 ocean-view staterooms and 298 interior staterooms. ==History== ''Henna'' was built in 1986 by Kockums Varv, Malmö, Sweden, for Carnival Cruise Lines as ''Jubilee'', along with near-sister ship ''Celebration''. The other near-sister ship of the class, ''Holiday'', was built earlier by Aalborg Værft in Aalborg, Denmark. In 2004, the vessel was transferred to P&O Cruises Australia and renamed ''Pacific Sun''. ''Pacific Sun'' arrived in Australia in November 9, 2004, and began year-round cruises from Sydney to the South Pacific and Tropical North Queensland. From late 2007, she was based at Brisbane, and was then the largest year-round liner to be based in Queensland. After receiving a multimillion-dollar makeover, she sailed in all white colours, like P&O's other ships, along with new amenities. ''Pacific Sun'' was the only ship of three sisters (with ''Grand Celebration'' and ''Grand Holiday'') whose funnel was changed upon leaving the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet; her sister's funnels were simply painted over and not changed, while ''Sun'' had Carnival's iconic wings removed, put a square hole where they use to be, and made the pointy thing a little longer. Carnival's first new build ship, the slightly older ''Tropicale'' (Now MS ''Ocean Dream''), also had her Carnival funnel removed, and replaced with Costa Cruises's round stove-pipe funnel. In late July 2008, 42 passengers were injured in a storm. The event became widely known when video footage was reposted on the internet two years later. On 18 December 2011, P&O announced that ''Pacific Sun'' would leave its fleet in July 2012. Her farewell cruise was an 8-day roundtrip from Portside Wharf in Brisbane, Australia, and stopping at Nouméa, Lifou in New Caledonia, and Port Vila in Vanuatu with three days at sea. ''Pacific Sun'' had completed between 314 and 332 cruises, with 2,707 nights at sea and an estimated 586,000 passengers carried.〔 On 13 September 2012, new owner HNA Cruises renamed the ship ''Henna''; she made her maiden voyage under Chinese ownership on 26 January 2013 from Sanya to Vietnam. From January to April, the ship will run between Sanya and Ha Long Bay and Da Nang in Vietnam. From May to September, her home port will be shifted to Tianjin, with a new route launching between Tianjin and the South Korean ports of Incheon and Jeju Island.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.whatsonsanya.com/sanya-travel-2279.html )〕 In September 2013 the ship was detained at a port on the South Korean island of Jeju after Chinese shipping service company Jiangsu Shagang International applied for a seizure. After several days stuck on board, the 1,659 passengers were flown home via the airlines company of HNA Group, leaving their cruise uncompleted but safe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henna (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
