Akebono Maru
The Akebono Maru, a new ferry launched in December 2017, features a chic and modern interior combining monochrome spaces with calm dark brown wood grain and glossy materials. Designed with consideration for the elderly and others, it is equipped with elevators from the vehicle deck up to the second-class cabins on the 2nd floor and upper-class cabins on the 3rd floor. We've also enhanced comfort by installing new reclining seats and "Nobinobi" seats, and increasing the number of sofa seats. Furthermore, fin stabilizers have been installed to prevent rolling during rough seas.
Akatsuki Maru
[Launched June 4, 2014]
The Akatsuki Maru features a new interior design that blends the charm of bygone eras with a modern, innovative taste, utilizing wood grain and metal elements throughout. We promise that your journey aboard the Akatsuki Maru will be a wonderful experience for everyone.
