Royal Wing Yokohama Bay Cruise

Amazing lunch/dinner tour.

The best way to feel this Bay City’s charm is by joining a cruising tour. Although there are several cruise ship services in Yokohama, I would love to introduce the cruise that has the most fantastic ship—the Royal Wing! This ship serves a variety of Chinese dishes, an amazing bay cruise with nice views of Yokohama: Minato Mirai skyline, Yokohama Bay Bridge, factories, and green up on the hills overlooking the bay. In addition, even if you are unlucky with the weather, you can still enjoy some attractions on the ship: magic, balloon art, and live music.

Course and Schedule

The cruise takes place four times a day on a regular basis; Lunch (12:00AM-1: 45PM), Tea (2:45-4:15PM), and two Dinner cruises (5:10-7:00PM, 7:40-9:30PM). The ship leaves Osanbashi Pier and circles Yokohama Bay. At first, the ship heads out towards the Yokohama Bay Bridge. It is a stylish, long, cable-stayed bridge that is one of the main icons of Yokohama. I love this beautiful and really photogenic bridge. You might have seen it destroyed in a Godzilla movie!

The ship passes under the bridge, goes out into Tokyo Bay and then loops back. Because Tokyo Bay is outside Yokohama Bay, we can also see the calm, hilly part of Yokohama as well as some factories.

After turning back, you cruise north toward the cool Minato Mirai 21 skyscraper area. There, you’ll see modern and sophisticated architecture in the daytime, and brilliant illumination at night.

The meals Royal Wing serves are “modern” Chinese cuisine. You can choose a buffet or several levels of courses (4600 yen–26,500 yen). The buffet (for instance) consists of 5-6 sorts of appetizers, 6 kinds of steamed or fried vegetables, 1 type of soup, 3 kinds of roasted dishes, steamed buns and dumplings, noodles and fried rice, 3-4 kinds of desserts, and an assortment of various fruits. The beverages are British tea, oolong tea and coffee. If you would like to have some alcohol or other soft drinks, you need to order them separately. The meal is served just after you board the ship. If you order a course, the food will be served step by step, and it will take a long time to finish all of them. You might not have enough time to go outside. So, I recommend that you choose the buffet, enjoy the meal and music first, and then move out to the deck for the excellent bay scene and nice sea breeze.

The last 30 minutes are the highlight of the tour if you are interested in the view. If the weather is nice, the panorama from the deck will be fabulous. There are tables and chairs where you can sit and enjoy the view comfortably. When the ship goes under the bridge, you can see this stunning architecture up close. It is compelling. Other cruise ships might pass you sometimes. The contrast of the sky and the sea is changing every 10 seconds. Fascinated by the beautiful scenery, you will forget the time. During the night cruise, the Ferris wheel in the Minato Mirai district is beautifully illuminated.

How to make a reservation

You can reserve your cruise online, but all the information is written in Japanese. Or ask the concierge in your hotel to help. Finally, you can reserve a spot on the cruise by phone at 045-662-6125.

Additional English information is available here .

Entertainment

Royal Wing has a few shows.

1) Balloon Art

An entertainer comes to each table and does some quick balloon art in front of your eyes. When I was there, it was a cute young girl. She talked to us as she filled a pink balloon with air. At first we didn’t know what she was doing. She twisted and pulled some parts of the balloon quickly. I thought the balloon would break if she treated it like that, but it didn’t. Instead, she smiled and handed me a cute little dog. She did the same things again in blue, and created two balloon dogs kissing! It took only 30 seconds or so!

We also enjoyed card magic at our table.

You can enjoy sophisticated live music. When we were on the ship, a flute and piano duet were featured.

Sightseeing of Yokohama Bay Cruise

“Royal Wing,” the only entertainment restaurant ship in Japan, weights a total of 2,876 t, an overall length of 86.7m, and a large passenger ship with a maximum passenger capacity of 630. With the Osanbashi Bridge at Port of Yokohama as the starting point, we operate 4 trips a day: a lunch cruise, a tea cruise, and 2 dinner cruises.

Starting at Osanbashi Bridge at the Port of Yokohama as the starting point, the cruise passes under the Bay Bridge to reach Tokyo Bay. From aboard the ship with an unobstructed view, the beautiful scenery of Old town Yokohama, the large Ferris wheel, Minato-mirai area, etc., are visible as a large panoramic view.

Freshly-prepared, authentic Chinese cuisine is all prepared consistently inside the kitchen of the ship. For customers who want to enjoy the full view are recommended to utilize the buffet, while those who want to dine leisurely are recommended the course meals freshly-prepared with seasonal food ingredients. Live classic music is performed inside the ship, while entertainment such as balloon art, etc., help forget the passing of time!

Also, a heart-shaped illuminating object named “jewel heart,” 1,900mm in height, and 1,800mm in width, is installed on February 6 for couples to gaze at while deepening their affections. The illumination created with 2,000 lit bulbs emits pink and white lights that glow like crystals upon gazing couples, who can enjoy a romantic evening viewing the night scene and lit-up night sky of the Port of Yokohama, while professing their love to one another before the heart that symbolizes happiness.

Aside from the usual cruise, the ship also offers wedding cruises. A wedding held aboard the top deck of the top floor of the ship, where a panoramic 360 degree view of the Port of Yokohama is visible, the “Captain’s Ceremony” is held surrounded by ocean under the wide sky. An original, unconventional wedding would with a full view of Yokohama aboard the ship would no doubt offer a memory of a lifetime…!

Cruising the Waters of Yokohama

A short boat ride that will last forever in one's heart

Not many of us would include Yokohama by default or voluntarily on the must-visit list while traveling in Japan. As a result, not many of us would be aware that Tokyo's closest neighbor has many views that can make people stand in awe just seeing them. One of those is the panoramic scenery that you can enjoy in the area of Yokohama Port, which can be even more special if you relish it on a boat ride.

Minato Mirai is one of Yokohama's best deals. The area can be considered as the champion of the city's attraction list because while it's totally free of charge and is strategically located in the heart of Yokohama, the atmosphere coming out of this place is different compared to the ones you can find in Tokyo. I have experienced it myself, and not only on foot (because of course, it's a good method to make the most of the waterfront), but also literally in the middle of its waters, using one of the city's methods of public transport known as the " Sea Bass ".

Despite the short ride from Minato Mirai to the pier in Yamashita Park (located not so far from Yokohama Chinatown ), I was treated to a spectacular view of the waterfront, complete with Yokohama's iconic skyscrapers lining up gallantly in the background. As if it wasn't enough, Yokohama turned its sky to some dramatic dusk hues. There were striking shades of purple, decorated with glittering lights from the buildings and Ferris wheel off in the distance. With the breeze coming from the port, the 10-minute long boat ride across Yokohama Harbor that evening eventually became one of the most amazing boat rides I had ever experienced.

Getting there

From Yokohama Station, the Minato Mirai area is just 15 to 20 minutes away on foot. If you are planning to catch the "Sea Bass" straight away, the first pier is located just at the east exit of Yokohama Station.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
