Making Balcony Suites More Accessible for Solo Travelers

Sunstar Line (based in Osaka) has announced a limited-time campaign on its cruise ferry, the Panstar Miracle, connecting Osaka and Busan, offering solo travelers special rates for its Balcony Suites.

During this campaign, solo use of a Balcony Suite, normally priced at 70,000 yen one-way, will be offered at a special price of 55,000 yen.

Born from feedback: "I want a private room for solo travel"

"I want to enjoy a solo trip to Korea," or "I'm interested in a cruise, but private rooms are expensive." In response to such feedback, the Panstar Miracle has planned this campaign to allow solo travelers to easily enjoy a cruise in a Balcony Suite.

The Panstar Miracle is a cruise ferry connecting Osaka and Busan. With features such as restaurants, public baths, lounges, shops, and an outdoor pool (seasonal), the travel experience itself is the highlight.

Departing Osaka in the evening, the cruise travels through the Seto Inland Sea, offering a different charm from air travel.

Exclusive benefits of the Balcony Suite

Balcony Suite guests receive priority boarding and disembarkation, as well as access to the dedicated suite lounge at the Osaka Port International Ferry Terminal.

In the onboard restaurant, guests can enjoy a buffet and special menu items from the live kitchen. Each room also includes a welcome bottle of sparkling wine.

The rooms feature Molton Brown shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, along with bathrobes to enhance comfort.

Recommended as a base for solo travel in Korea

The Panstar Miracle offers excellent access to the center of Busan. It is a 10-15 minute walk from the Busan International Passenger Terminal to Busan Station via a covered pedestrian deck.

Upon arrival, guests can explore Busan's food, cafes, shops, and beaches. The staff at Panstar Miracle Cruise in Busan are also fluent in Japanese for peace of mind.

This campaign can be used for either one-way or round-trip journeys from both Osaka and Busan.
