[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] A honeymoon package using the country’s only hotel-style tourist train, ‘Haerang,’ is being launched.

Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail) announced on the 14th that it will release the ‘Sweet Honeymoon Rail Cruise Haerang’ in collaboration with Korail Tourism Development.

Korea Railroad planned this product targeting newlyweds who have turned their attention from overseas to domestic travel due to the recent impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The Rail Cruise Haerang is a hotel-style tourist train equipped with beds, televisions, restrooms, and showers in each cabin, and offers onboard performances such as magic shows and Nanta.

In particular, Korea Railroad includes onboard services such as wine room service and wedding-themed room decorations tailored to the honeymoon theme, along with various activities like professional photographer’s snapshot sessions, private yacht tours, and exploration of representative local foods.

The itinerary is a 3-day, 2-night nationwide tour course departing from Seoul Station at 8:30 AM on the 9th of next month, traveling through Jeonju~Yeosu, Busan~Gyeongju, and Donghae~Jeongdongjin.

On the first day, participants will enjoy Jeonju Hanok Village and Yeosu night views, spend time traveling in Hanbok accompanied by a photographer in the Hanok Village, and in the evening, savor a course meal while admiring the sea night view at a 5-star hotel in Yeosu.

On the second day, they will experience a Busan yacht tour and Gyeongju city tour, have a buffet breakfast at the hotel, visit Haeundae Nurimaru, and enjoy another yacht tour. In the afternoon, they will move to Gyeongju to feel the traces of the thousand-year-old city and have studio photography with an early modern period concept.

The final day (third day) includes riding a rail bike along the coast in Jeongdongjin to watch the sunrise, then moving to Taebaek to enjoy a Korean beef barbecue lunch before returning to Seoul.

The rooms are two types: a 2-person suite room and a deluxe room. The usage fee is set at 4.6 million KRW for the suite room and 4.2 million KRW for the deluxe room. The fee includes all meals and entrance fees to tourist sites throughout the itinerary, so no additional costs will occur.

Further details about the ‘Sweet Honeymoon Rail Cruise Haerang’ can be found on the Rail Cruise Haerang website.

Meanwhile, this product was prepared as part of a business agreement between Korail Tourism Development and Lotte Home Shopping to revitalize the depressed local economy, and sales have already started on the home shopping channel since the 12th.
