SEA PASEO

Cruise ferries that allow you to enjoy a boat trip on the Seto Inland Sea as if you were taking a stroll in the park.

Last update :

This cruise ferry connects the ports of Hiroshima and Kure in Hiroshima Prefecture with the port of Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku Island. Based on the concept of "a park for everyone to enjoy traveling the Seto Inland Sea", the interior of the ship has been designed to make passengers feel as if they are in a park. The cruise from Hiroshima Port to Kure Port takes 45 minutes, and from Kure Port to Matsuyama Port takes 115 minutes.

The rooftop has a green terrace with artificial grass and a gazebo that shades the sun, creating a true park-like atmosphere at sea. The ship offers a variety of seating options, including "panorama sofas" to enjoy the view that spreads out in the direction you are moving, and "GORONE areas" where passengers can look out of small windows at the sea while lying down. The "HANARE of Hikinami," where you can take off your shoes and relax like in a living room, and the "Patio of Breeze," a semi-outdoor space, is also fascinating.

The OASIS COURT also features a Refresh Lounge and a carpeted “KOAGARI area” for dining, as well as a chic navy blue and gold exterior that won the Best 100 Good Design Award in 2019!
