New Cruise Ship Mitsui Ocean Sakura scheduled to enter service in September 2026 announcing 29 debut cruises and onboard facilities
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, announced that its group company MOL Cruises, announces 29 debut cruise itineraries and onboard facilities for its new cruise ship Mitsui Ocean Sakura, scheduled to enter service in 2026.
The Mitsui Ocean Sakura will enter service on Saturday, September 19, 2026, and is scheduled to make 29 debut cruises, including several short voyages of one to three nights, over a three-month period through December 2026.
The Mitsui Ocean Sakura‘s onboard facilities also carry forward the traditions and spirit of MOL Cruises’ previous ships, and the company has finalized the service outline. New additions to the ship currently in operation, the Mitsui Ocean Fuji, include a sushi bar and foot bath.
In the MOL Group’s “BLUE ACTION 2035” management plan, MOL calls for reforms to create a business portfolio that can maintain profitability even during shipping recessions, and the cruise business is positioned as one of the non-shipping, stable-profit businesses that can counter the volatility of the shipping market. MOL Cruises plans to add new cruise ships in addition to the Mitsui Ocean Fuji to enhance the MOL Group’s corporate value and realize its vision.
