The best view of Shanghai’s astonishing downtown skyline is from the vantage point of a boat on the Huangpu River, and here’s a unique opportunity. It’s now possible to cruise through the vibrant heart of the mega-city in true superyacht style aboard the 33m (108ft) RUI HUA 2, with historic Old Shanghai on one side and the spectacular towers of the futuristic Financial District on the other.

The largest and by far most luxurious yacht available to charter in the Shanghai area, RUI HUA 2 is a Sunseeker Predator 108 – an icon of contemporary yacht design. She is configured to host up to 12 guests for a private sightseeing river cruise, or a party of eight for an exclusive fine dining experience. She can also be chartered for dockside events and cocktail parties alongside Xinhua Pier.

Guests can gather, recline and relax in two distinct social areas on her superb and spacious exterior decks, with easy access between them. For the very best view on board, the open foredeck lounge is the place to be. The snug and sheltered aft cockpit is ideal for elegant dining as well as it flows seamlessly into the comfortable main deck saloon. Here in this fully climate-controlled space – which can be completely enclosed when there’s a chill in the air outside – you’ll find plenty of stylish sofas and an inside dining table, with excellent views of the cityscape through panoramic windows wherever you choose to sit.

Two recommended cruising routes are available. The one-and-a-half-hour Bund Route takes you past all the essential scenic highlights between the two great suspension bridges that bookend the corner of the city - the graceful Art Deco edifices of the historic North Bund, the landscaped parks and attractions that line the river banks and the 100 soaring skyscrapers of Lujiazui, including the awesome landmark Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

The two-hour Expo Route gives you all of the above, plus extra sights like the Mercedes Benz Center, and more time to enjoy on board RUI HUA 2. Whichever of these cruises you choose, the best time to go is the evening when you can watch the metropolis come alive with its spectacular, world famous display of lights as the sun goes down.
