Creator's Key Takeaways

What makes it especially exciting is that for the first time, Mitsui Ocean Cruises, built on over 140 years of maritime expertise as part of Mitsui OSK line, is opening its doors to international travelers.

Our voyages are crafted around Japan's season. From cherry blossom in spring to vibrant autumn foliage, allowing guests to experience the country the way the locals do.

Our shore excursions are carefully curated for authenticity. From visiting traditionally traditional familyrun saki buries, meeting local craft masters, visiting pottery studios, tasting regional cuisines, visiting beautiful natures and culture side of Japan and more.

A true highlight is our Hokusai fine dining uh created by legendary chef Mikuni. He's the first Japanese chef ever received the chevarier of the region of honor from France.
