"Departing from and Returning to Busan"... Modetour to Expand Exclusive Charter Cruises to Two Voyages Next Year

Two sailings confirmed for May and October next year
Six-day, five-night itinerary covering Korea, China and Japan

Modetour announced on November 11 that, building on its experience operating its first exclusive charter cruise, “Cruise for All,” this year, it will operate exclusive charter cruises twice a year starting in 2027 and strengthen the competitiveness of its cruise packages by combining onboard entertainment with port-of-call tours.

In June, Modetour operated an exclusive charter cruise for the first time since its founding. The first cruise, “Cruise for All,” departed from Busan on June 19 and operated on a seven-day, six-night itinerary that included overnight stays in Hakodate and Otaru, Japan. It offered a variety of onboard programs, including a concert by singer Kim Taewoo, live performances, and humanities and cultural lectures, while differentiating itself through the time spent at ports of call and the sightseeing itineraries.

Building on this experience, Modetour plans to operate charter cruises twice next year, departing on May 17 and October 8, to expand the supply of cruises departing from Korea and strengthen the competitiveness of packages tailored to customers.

The cruise departing on May 17 will leave Busan, call at Nagasaki, Japan, and Shanghai, China, and return to Busan on a six-day, five-night itinerary. It is designed to let passengers visit major tourist attractions in Japan and China on a single trip, without separate air travel. The two full days at sea will offer a variety of onboard programs and opportunities to relax.

A large cruise ship with a gross tonnage of 85,619, a passenger capacity of 2,680, and 1,057 cabins will be used for the voyages. It is equipped with restaurants, swimming pools, and sports facilities. Modetour also plans to enhance its onboard entertainment, including concerts by guest singers, live performances, and themed parties. The packages will also include Korean-language services, accompanying cruise specialists, and local tours at each port of call.

Customers who complete their booking and full payment by November 30 will receive a discount of 300,000 to 500,000 won per person, depending on their cabin class, while supplies last.

“Operating our first exclusive charter cruise this year confirmed that distinctive onboard entertainment, port-of-call tours, and reliable operations on the ground are important competitive advantages in cruise travel,” said Jang Hongseok, head of Modetour’s Product Division. “Next year, we will expand our exclusive charter cruises to two voyages and continue strengthening our cruise package lineup to suit different customer segments and travel purposes, drawing on our accumulated expertise in package planning and operations.”
