#66: SHERAKHAN—229'7"

Sherakhan is a far cry from the abandoned commercial ship she once was, boasting a library, a dining room for 26 that sits beneath an atrium more than 20 feet high, and a revolving bed in the master suite. She's christened in honor of the same-named tiger in the famous book (and Disney film) The Jungle Book.
