Description

Asuka II represents the first unit of the cruise sector of Nippon Yusen Kaisha, a Japanese company with a large commercial presence. Formerly Crystal Harmony, with which Crystal Cruises started its activity, Asuka II is an elegant ship with a high level of service, so that its cruises are considered to belong to the Luxury sector. The itineraries on offer are mainly those in South-East Asia and the clientele is also almost exclusively Japanese.
