Int’l Cruise Tour Around Northeast Asia from Busan Begins

BUSAN, South Korea - An international cruise ship that will tour Northeast Asia using Busan Port as its mother port will begin operating from February 3. The city has attracted the ship from Harmony Cruise Ltd. For the new cruise, it will use a 26,000-ton ship rented from Greece that has been renamed the Harmony Princess. The ship has nine floors, each about the size of two soccer fields. It has 383 rooms and can accommodate 1,393 people (1,000 passengers and 393 staff). It is a traditional European-style cruise ship with a swimming pool, casino, buffet, large theater, fitness club, spa and kids’ club.

Harmony Cruise said it will operate the China (Shanghai, Beijing, Hainan, Tianjin), Japan (Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima), Russia (Vladivostok) and Korea (Incheon, Yeosu, Jeju and more) route once a week, with Busan Port as its home base.

Various tour packages will be offered on different routes including the three-night, four-day package costing about 1 million won ($864).

“As this will be a premium cruise tour operated by a Korean shipping company, we will provide a differentiated service so that people can enjoy a high-quality tour of Busan City and Northeast Asia,” said one executive at Harmony Cruise.

Meanwhile, the Costa Victoria is due to dock at Busan Port in June, and Asia’s largest cruise ship, the Voyager of the Seas, will arrive in July.
