Sudden Change in China-Origin Cruise Schedule Heading to Japan... 1-Night Stay in Jeju
The Chinese cruise ship Blue Dream Star (24,782 tons, capacity 1,275 people), which arrived in Jeju, is known to stay overnight in Jeju instead of heading to its destination, Japan.
According to the tourism industry including Jeju Province, Jeju Tourism Organization, and Jeju Tourism Association on the 31st, the cruise line of Blue Dream Star urgently changed its plan to move to Nagasaki, Japan at 10 p.m. that day due to the impact of Typhoon No. 12, Gireogi, and decided to stay one night in Jeju.
The cruise line is currently reported to be considering additional sightseeing schedules in Jeju for one day on the 31st and whether to conduct group or individual tours with local travel agencies in Jeju. The Blue Dream Star, which departed from Shanghai with 668 tourists and arrived at Jeju Port at 2 p.m., is scheduled to leave Jeju Port at 5 p.m. on September 1 and return to Shanghai, China.
On that day, Chinese group tourists split into about ten large buses and visited Jeju’s representative tourist courses such as Yongduam Rock, Dodoo Rainbow Coastal Road, Hallasan Botanical Garden Night Market, and duty-free shops.

Some in the tourism industry interpret the change of port of call as a result of heightened anti-Japanese sentiment due to Japan’s discharge of nuclear-contaminated water. The Blue Dream Star is the first cruise ship to visit after 6 years and 5 months since the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) incident in March 2017, when Chinese cruise ships completely stopped coming.
