It’s a record season at Aomori in Japan with 23 calls and more expected for 2018, according to a spokesperson.
First time callers included Celebrity and Seabourn, he said. For all calls, the port rolls out a high-end hospitality experience with a pier greeting for passengers.
An extension to the wharf is underway to accommodate ships in excess of 130,000 tons, with a targeted completion date of early 2018.
