Plan your day here →Domestic itineraries range across Japan — Miyako, Akita, Nanao, Matsuyama, Wakayama, Hakata and more, plus Busan and Jeju on international legs.
Voyages are short (4–12 days) and mostly domestic — ideal as a Japan add-on rather than the main event for international travelers.
Mitsui sells overseas via select agents; English onboard support exists but the ship’s soul is Japanese — that’s the appeal.
Our ship photo shows Fuji in her former life as Seabourn Odyssey — same hull, new Japanese heart.
The berth decides your day. Port by port, from our measured index.
Yes — the line sells internationally through select agents and the crew operates bilingually, though the onboard culture, cuisine and bathing are deliberately Japanese. For travelers who want Japan on the water as well as ashore, that is precisely the draw.
