Mitsui Ocean Cruises – Cruise Traveller

NOBODY KNOWS JAPAN LIKE MITSUI

Japan is a country surrounded by the sea. For them, the sea has long been a symbol of abundant nature, the world beyond and of travel.

Introducing a new cruise brand from Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, MITSUI OCEAN CRUISES. Their name reflects Mitsui’s pride in their long maritime history in Japan, and their hope for a future that starts with the blue ocean.

They cherish the beauty of Japan rooted in nature and seasons highlighted by traditional culture. With refined spaces accompanied by their special and sincere “omotenashi” service, they offer all of our guests a peaceful and relaxing moment filled with joy onboard.

Their newest luxury cruise ship, is 458-passenger MITSUI OCEAN FUJI.
