MOL Cruises announces the name of the new ship

MOL Cruises, Ltd announced the launch of a new cruise brand, Mitsui Ocean Cruises and introduced Mitsui Ocean Fuji as the name of the new ship that will be launched for passenger service at December 2024.

Mitsui Ocean Fuji will be MOL Cruises’ second ship in addition to Nippon Maru. Passengers on board can experience the combination of Japanese high quality “Omotenashi” service and hospitality with and western luxury hardware on Mitsui Ocean Fuji.

Mitsui Ocean Cruises also announced that Mitsui Ocean Fuji will embark on an Around the World Cruise in the April 2025.

The all-suite cabin-based cruise ship was purchased from Seabourn Cruise Line Limited in March 2023. The Mitsui OSK Lines Group created its new management plan, ‘Blue Action 2035’, in March 2023, to diversify its portfolio to offset commercial shipping volatility.

To this end, it will focus heavily on the cruise business, which is a stable and profitable industry that is not affected by the same market conditions.

Specifically, we will expand our travel business and the base of international customers, including inbound, in addition to domestic customers, by launching several new cruise ships in the future.

This will contribute to the improvement of the Mitsui OSK Lines Group’s corporate value and the realisation of the Group’s vision.
