December 02, 2024

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) today announced the December 1 launch of the MITSUI OCEAN FUJI, owned by MOL Group company MOL Cruises, Ltd. (President and CEO: Tsunemichi Mukai : Minato-ku, Tokyo) beginning a fascinating debut season of enjoying the blue ocean and the natural beauty of Japan.

The MITSUI OCEAN FUJI, the first cruise ship in Japan with all suite cabins, will offer a total of five "Debut Cruise" packages and one New Year's cruise through January 2025. In addition to cruises to/from Yokohama, it also offers cruises to/from Kobe and Nagoya, and cruise to/from Beppu, Shimonoseki, Shingu, Kochi, Nagoya, Sakaide, Kobe, Matsuyama, Hakata, Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and other beautiful seaside destinations in Japan. (Please refer to the MOL Cruises press release for details.)

MOL Cruises, Ltd. President & CEO Tsunemichi Mukai commented: "Today, we are pleased to send off the MITSUI OCEAN FUJI, the second cruise ship for Mitsui Ocean Cruises. We have been eagerly awaiting this day to welcome you on board. The MITSUI OCEAN FUJI looks forward to taking you on a beautiful voyage in Japan, embodying the deep traditional culture of Japan and the beauty and delicate taste of the ocean and nature."

In the MOL Group’s "BLUE ACTION 2035" management plan, MOL calls for reforms to create a business portfolio that can maintain profitability even during shipping recessions, and the cruise business is positioned as one of the non-shipping, stable-profit businesses that can cover the volatility of the shipping market. MOL Cruises plans to add new cruise ships in addition to the MITSUI OCEAN FUJI to enhance the MOL Group's corporate value and realize its vision.

Two websites were opened at the same time to coincide with the launch of the cruise ship. In addition to the latest information, the websites of the Mitsui Ocean Cruises brand and the MITSUI OCEAN FUJI cruise ship make it easy to find information on cruise schedules, rooms, restaurants, and other amenities and answer customers' and frequently asked questions.
