[Herald Economy = Reporter Ham Young-hoon] Cruisia, South Korea’s homegrown real-time global cruise booking platform, has unveiled an MSC Cruise Chuseok Special Voyage package for the 2026 Chuseok holiday—so you can skip the scramble for plane tickets and the steep airfare hikes and sail straight from Busan Port.
According to Cruisia on the 18th, this special voyage runs just once—departing on September 23. The 5-night, 6-day round trip leaves from Busan, calls at Shanghai, China, and Fukuoka, Japan—two hotspots that have recently shot up in popularity among Korean travelers—then returns to Busan.
Shanghai has shed its old stereotypes and now blends sleek skyscrapers with the European-style Bund for a polished cityscape often dubbed the “Paris of Asia.” Lately it’s become a trendy city-tour destination, especially for younger travelers (Millennials and Gen Z).
Fukuoka is a beloved, fail-safe port of call for Koreans. With superb access from the harbor to downtown, you can pack in top-notch dining and shopping even on a short stop—making the most of every minute ashore.
The ship assigned to this itinerary is an enormous 170,000-ton MSC vessel, truly a luxury hotel at sea. Across its 19 decks you’ll find 2,217 staterooms, a variety of international restaurants, outdoor pools, expansive sun decks, a spa, and a large theater that puts on nightly shows. Prices, based on double occupancy, start at about 1,150,000 KRW (approximately $862.50 USD) for an inside cabin and about 1,850,000 KRW (approximately $1,387.50 USD) for a balcony cabin.
