Review for: One Way · Osaka · Busan · Deluxe Suite Room

Awesome Awesome...... We throughly enjoyed our trip, seriously if you have the time and need to relax between destinations this is the perfect way to do it. The crew were very friendly and very helpful. We had the dinner on board which was a good variety and tasted yummy. We also had a much needed lunch at Cafe Yume, where the staff were super friendly and the French fries we had were Awesome highly recommend them. Our cabin a Deluxe Suite was wonderful, the bathroom could do with a little refresh but, otherwise super comfortable and exactly like the pictures described.

Review for: One Way · Busan · Osaka · Family Room

an easy and aweosme way to travel from Korea to Japan - great views along the way, comfortable lodgings and places along the boat to sit and enjoy - super straight forward as someone who doesn’t speak Korean or Japanese, we booked the family room and was comfortable sleeping on the floor mats, warm and cosy. the buffet dinner was good and very efficient, didn’t get up for the breakfast so can’t comment. Enjoyed the bridge under crossings and a great way to enter Osaka and easy to get to metro and to our accommodations. highly recommend if you have the time and enjoy avoiding airports like we do

Review for: One Way · Osaka · Busan · Deluxe Suite Room

the best experience. We did Osaka to Busan and it was so fun. you receive a QR code upon confirmation of your booking and you can self checkin at the kiosk. You can take as much luggage as you want as long as you can carry them yourself in and around the boat. There is a bus to the boat entry as well as escalators heading to the reception on the cruise. They have a talent show for the night which was fun. Tip: if you catch the train from your destination in Osaka, there is a free shuttle bus to the Port from the closest train station (sorry I forgot the name). Or you can walk, it was about a 15min walk. Highly recommend

Review for: One Way · Busan · Osaka · Deluxe Suite Room (Full Services)

Taking the Panstar ferry from Busan to Osaka was a delightful adventure! Boarding was smooth, and the cabins were cozy with a touch of maritime charm. The onboard amenities were impressive, offering everything from a relaxing lounge with suana to delicious meals with a Korean and Japanese fusion twist. The highlight of the journey was definitely the scenic views of the ocean and the chance to spot dolphins dancing in the waves. The crew were friendly and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. Arriving in Osaka, I felt rejuvenated and ready to explore thanks to the hassle-free travel experience provided by Panstar.

Review for: One Way · Osaka · Busan · Deluxe Suite Room

Mostly pleasant experience. Make sure you go to the international terminal in Osaka. The toilets were out of order on the main level so you had to go back to the 3rd floor for one working toilet. Boarding was easy. Deluxe room was nice and you have access to a private lounge. Rooms were insanely hot. Buffet was good, but line up early. People were down there lined up 30 mins before they even served the meal. I will say, if you have motion sickness consider meds or another way of travel. The Fukuoka to Busan portion was some of the roughest seas I’ve felt. I was so sick for around 5 hours during that leg. Highly reccomend bringing meds for that part of the journey.
