Modetour Launches Full-Scale Charter Cruise Business with "Everyone's Cruise"

Woo Junyeol Leads the Launch of a Future Strategic Business
First Departure Set for June Next Year
Differentiated Itinerary Featuring "Hakodate and Otaru 1-Night Overnight Stay" for an Immersive Experience

Modetour has identified the cruise industry as a future strategic business and is making a full-scale entry into the exclusive charter cruise sector.

The first itinerary for this charter cruise business is "Everyone's Cruise," a 6-night, 7-day voyage departing on June 19 next year. The itinerary is designed to maximize port stay time by combining a "Busan departure and arrival" route with a "Hakodate-Otaru (1 night)" segment.

The vessel in operation will be the Costa Serena of Italy's Costa Cruises. This large ship has a gross tonnage of 114,147 tons and can accommodate up to 3,780 passengers. After completing its refurbishment this month, it will be reassigned to Asian routes. The recent renovations are expected to enhance all aspects of the ship, including cabins, restaurants, and entertainment facilities.

"Everyone's Cruise" is designed to offer the most in-depth experience of Hokkaido's natural and urban attractions. In Hakodate, the ship will arrive during the most beautiful nighttime hours, allowing for a leisurely schedule. In Otaru, an "overnight stay" is included, enabling visitors to enjoy an immersive tourism experience beyond a simple visit. Onboard, a variety of differentiated programs will be offered, including special concerts by guest singers, humanities and culture lectures, and exclusive programs for families, seniors, and couples.

This project marks a significant starting point for Modetour as it begins to foster the cruise industry as a future strategic business. Modetour has long recognized the potential for growth in the cruise sector, having acquired "Cruise International," a cruise specialist company established in 2000, as a subsidiary in 2010. Woo Junyeol, CEO of Modetour, stated, "This charter cruise project is the starting signal for Modetour to actively nurture the cruise industry as a core business for the future. Having been involved since the planning stage, we will raise the standard of cruise travel with Modetour's unique planning and service, and contribute to the long-term expansion of the domestic cruise market."
