The 2001-built ship, capable of carrying up to 1,053 passengers, sailed on a trial voyage to Fukuoka, Japan last week from Shanghai’s Wusongkou with no passengers.
It is planned to offer four-, five- and seven-night cruises to Japan from next month, visiting Japan's Hiroshima, Miyajima, Naoshima, Kochi, Osaka, Beppu and other ports.
