The number of users of “Japanet Cruise,” sold by Japanet Tourism, has surpassed 100,000.
After launching in October 2018, excluding the COVID-19 pandemic period, this milestone was achieved in 2 years and 8 months. The total number of voyages is 32, with port calls at 22 locations in 19 prefectures across 3 countries. First-time passengers on the cruise totaled 80,000.
Japanet Cruise manages everything from selecting ports of call to planning and operating tours of tourist destinations. The “MSC Bellissima,” which made seven calls at Hakodate, is the largest ship to have ever visited the port, attracting a cumulative 30,000 visitors and significantly boosting tourism.
To ensure even first-time passengers can enjoy their trip with peace of mind, most drinks are complimentary, and tips are included in the travel cost. Japanet Cruise staff are on board to support English communication on the ship. In addition to the ship’s newsletter, they provide a cruise communication newsletter and an original onboard and port visit guidebook.
Currently on sale, the “10-day Japan Circumnavigation Cruise” and the “10-day Tropical Resort Cruise” both offer balcony cabins for 399,800 yen based on double occupancy.
