A cruise ship that visited Harumi Wharf in October
~ "The World" and "Asuka II" ~
Hello. This is Harumi Madame.
This time, the topic of the familiar Harumi Wharf cruise liner. 。 。
I suddenly looked at the wharf on the 7th in early October. 。 。
？ ？ ？ A large passenger ship is entering the port.
Oh? I wonder if today was the day to enter the port ...?
I hurriedly checked the "port entry information" introduced last month, but there was no information.
I have no choice but to go to see this.
When you get to the pier. 。 。 There is the word "THE WORLD" on the ship.
Maybe that "The World"? ？
To the usual pick-up deck while suppressing the feeling of deviation.
"After all! I finally met the real thing!"
Here, about the cruise ship "THE WORLD"
★THE WORLD 43,188 tons Total length 196.35 meters Passenger capacity 150-200 Fleet Bahamas
・Unlike ordinary cruise ships, cabins are called residences, and 165 residences are sold like "condominiums" in the world, and owners are able to travel around the world while living in cabins like villas.
The purchase of this cabin residence requires at least 1 billion yen of assets, including background checks.
The annual route decision is decided by the owner's vote and the board of directors, and is anchored at more than 100 locations a year.
That's right. It's a very special "celeb cruise ship."
Super luxury cruise ship like a condominium. Previously, when I saw this image on the Internet, I thought I would like to see the real thing once (^ ▽ ^) /, but do you stop by one port only once? There is information that I visited Harumi Wharf a few years ago, so I wonder if I will stop by anymore. 。 。 I was giving up a little bit.
The luxury can be seen at a glance at the ship. First of all, the "pitch" of each room of the cabin balcony is different! Behind the large, too wide balcony you can see a room with clearly luxurious furniture.
It seems that the room can be customized to your favorite interior after purchase by the owner. It's gorgeous.
The nationality of the owner is mainly in Europe, the United States, and Oceania, but it seems that there are several Japanese owners.
The number of passengers on board at all times is 150 to 200, butlers and other staff are 270. You have more than one-on-one service.
In the cabin near the bottom of the ship, I could see bars and lounges with a calm atmosphere.
In the late autumn weather when dusk was completely early, I was thinking about the life of the owner passengers on board for a while, until the sparkling lights came off from inside the ship (; ^ω^)
According to the staff of the pier, he said, "Because it is a special cruise ship, we will not provide information on entering and leaving the port in advance." So I don't know the front port or the next port.
Because it is such a "superdo class luxury cruise ship", it can be said that it is natural for security ...
By the way, when I searched for information, I visited Harumi Wharf for the third time in the last 10 years, so some time again. 。 。 Will you come?
The owners are Harumi (the actual vote is "TOKYO JAPAN"?) I would like to wait for you, hoping to vote for it.
Asuka II is finally coming in mid-October!
And then
I was waiting around 8:00 a.m. on October 17!
Asuka II has slowly and elegantly passed through the Rainbow Bridge.
★Asuka II 50,142 tons Total length 241 meters Passenger capacity 872 people
The cruise ship, which was completed at the Nagasaki Shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as "Crystal Harmony" and entered service in 1990, was purchased by Yusen in 2006, transferred its ship to Japan and refurbished it for Japan, and debuted as the successor to Asuka.
Until it is anchored at the wharf, the ship turned around the hull, but the size of the hull turned sideways is amazing. You can fully feel the presence of Asuka II.
Above all, the largest passenger ship in "made in Japan" is also Japan.
The size stands out when viewed up close.
It is said that it usually takes about three years to build a ship of this size, but it took about two years to build it, so it is the shipbuilding technology of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan.
Recently, there were many foreign cruise ships entering the port, but Asuka II for the first time in a long time, many Japanese passengers were also seen, and in unfortunate weather, we asked our parents and children looking at the ship, `` I'm going to go '' Some people boarded while waving their hands. "
Come on! Have a nice cruise.
This berth was about half a day, so 16:30 in the evening.
I left Harumi Wharf, which had already faded, smoked by fog-like rain.
An elegant voyage of Asuka II. As soon as I came home and looked into the cruise plan, I remembered the words that the captain of Asuka II, who had appeared on a TV program someday.
"Recent cruise ships don't shake. But it's a ship. It may shake depending on the sea conditions. Some people have seasickness. Even so, most customers want to ride again once they get on board ..."
Will I be able to become a repeater for a cruise trip someday?
