Aicruise Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo / Representative Director: Shinya Kabe) will hold Japan's largest ship festival, "Natsu Cru 2026," on the waters of Yokohama for one month from Friday, July 17, 2026, to Sunday, August 16, 2026. With over 50 performances planned during the period and an expected attendance of approximately 7,000 people, this is one of Japan's leading maritime entertainment projects.
What is "Natsu Cru"? This is a ship festival that started in 2012 and is now in its 14th year. Using a large cruiser capable of accommodating about 200 people, it unfolds daily as a "live house and club on the sea" featuring different artists. Cruises of 2 hours each will be held three times a day: Daytime, Sunset, and Night. Over 50 performances are scheduled during the period. A diverse range of artists, including DJs, live performers, bands, and idols, will gather to create special stages that can only be realized on the sea. This event, where you can experience artists' performances up close in an extraordinary space where sea, sky, and music merge, is truly a "moving live house." As the ship moves, the scenery changes, creating a unique "live experience of that moment only" that will never be repeated. Daytime offers an open-air experience under the blue sky, Sunset offers a magical time as the sky and sea are dyed orange, and Night offers a special moment where the cityscape and music overlap. The location, which changes with the time of day, further enhances the music experience. With an expected attendance of approximately 7,000 people, we will continue to evolve as one of Japan's leading maritime entertainment projects.
