The largest moving vessels ever constructed. Dynastic International pioneered the construction techniques that were far more similar to oil platform construction, as opposed to cruise ship construction. With a design length of 4,500 feet (1400 m), a width of 750 feet (230 m), and a height of 350 feet (110 m), Dynastic-Class Worldships would be more than 4 times longer than the Queen Mary. The design concepts include a mobile modern city featuring luxurious living, an extensive duty-free international shopping mall, and a full 1.7 million square foot (160,000 m²) floor set aside for various companies to showcase their products.

Dynastic-Class Worldships would not be a cruise ship, it is proposed to be a unique place to live, work, retire, vacation, or visit. The proposed voyage would continuously circle the globe, covering most of the world's coastal regions. Its large fleet of commuter aircraft and hydrofoils would ferry residents and visitors to and from shore.

Currently there is only one Dynastic-Class Worldship that serves its original function. The Zhu-Di which is named after the great Ming Dynasty Emperor, Zhu-Di. Dynastic International stated that all of the Dynastic-Class Worldships would be named after the greatest Emperors of China. It is suspected that the next Dynastic-Class Worldship would be named the Kangxi, after the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

The prototype, the Imperial Might, was converted into a labour vessel for Dynastic International's mega project the Mendesian Shipyards.
