Cruise Report

July 7th.

Today, there was a big event: the Tanabata Festival! Tanabata is a Japanese celebration of love, based on the Chinese festival Chi Shi. The festival featured different events, such as ballroom dancing and the presentation of onboard love stories. Everyone was invited to wear Yukata.

We could borrow Yukata for the event
