MITSUI OSK Lines has marked the debut of Mitsui Ocean Fuji, formerly Seabourn Odyssey (CW 26 Sep), with the Headmaster Designate of Ikenobo school, Senko Ikenobo, naming the ship.
The christening event was held on board Ocean Fuji at the Tokyo Int’l Cruise Terminal, with the cruise line’s President Tsunemichi Mukai and the ship’s Captain Kim Roger Carlson thanking everyone in attendance for their support.
Ocean Fuji’s sister ship Nippon Maru was also in port to greet the newly christened vessel (pictured), with guests on both ships waving flags as the pair exchanged three-horn salutes.
“Senko Ikenobo is highly admired for her dedication and passion for meticulous ikebana artistry in Japan, making her the perfect choice to name Mitsui Ocean Fuji,” Mukai said.
“Guests will enjoy beautiful encounters with Japan and an authentically and carefully crafted cruise experience blending our distinct Japanese culture with inspiring and unique ways to value time and space.”
Ocean Fuji is sailing a series of debut cruises over the next two months, including a special New Year’s sailing. MS
