The handover ceremony was held onboard SEABOURN ODYSSEY, after the ship arrived at the Port of Yokohama, concluding a 22-day farewell voyage from the United States. Following maritime tradition, the flag of MITSUI OCEAN CRUISES was raised, as the ship transitions to MITSUI OCEAN FUJI, scheduled to debut on 1 December 2024.

The ship is loved by many cruise fans, and many loyal SEABOURN ODYSSEY guests who sailed on the debut cruise were onboard the farewell voyage. The ship will move to Mitsubishi Shipyard in Yokohama for refurbishment, such as the addition of shower toilets in all suites, galley equipment updates and rebranding of venues. Crew training also begins, preparing for the inaugural season. MITSUI OCEAN FUJI will debut in Yokohama on 1 December 2024, as Japan's most luxurious all-suite cruise ship with spacious passenger venues, traditional omotenashi service, delicately flavoured and beautifully presented cuisine, lively entertainment and exciting ports of call.
