“Travel and Experience East Asia,
the Peace Boat way”
A Peace Boat voyage is a life-changing experience. Utilizing the
facilities onboard and harnessing the talents of staff and participants
alike, Peace Boat creates a unique environment in which people can
live and learn together while traveling in a socially responsible way.
The ship creates a unique neutral, mobile space and enables people
to engage in dialogue and mutual cooperation across borders while
at sea, and in the ports that we visit.
Since its first voyage in 1983, Peace Boat has organized more than 85
global and regional voyages, taken over 50,000 participants
onboard and visited over 200 ports of call.

Ishigaki Island (Okinawa)
Ishigaki Island is one of the many islands of Okinawa.
Famous for its marine biodiversity, tourists visit the island
to enjoy its natural wonders including its Manta rays. As in
many tourist destinations, the people of Ishigaki are
striveing to balance economic development and nature
conservation.
Keelung (Taiwan)
Keelung is located close to the capital city of Taipei as well
as many important cultural historical and natural sites in
Taiwan. Taiwan was once a colony of Japan, and its
geographical location is of geopolitical importance. From
enjoying its rich culture to learning about its history, there
are many options to explore during your visit to this
fascinating city.
Naha (Okinawa)
Okinawa, once an independent kingdom called Ryukyu,
has many faces. Boasting dense forests, crystal clear sea
and a unique cultural heritage, Okinawa also has the
largest number of military bases in Japan. With Peace Boat
you will be able to see past the tourism in Okinawa and
hear stories from the local people to see another face of
the island.
Hakata (Japan)
A cosmopolitan city in the south west of Japan, Hakata has
served for many years as a gateway between Japan and the
rest of East Asia. The oppotunity to meet with former
miners and learn the history of Miike coal mine, a UNESCO
World Cultural Heritage site where many Koreans were
forced to work during the war, is one of the unique
learning experiences offered by Peace Boat.
Jeju Island (South Korea)
Jeju is a beautiful volcanic island located in the Korea Strait.
It is home to the higest mountain in South Korea and
boasts the world’s largest lava tube system of caves. In
contrast to its peaceful scenery, the island suffered a sad
history of colonization by Japan. Peace Boat frequently
visits this island to learn from its history so as not to repeat
it in the future.
Hiroshima (Japan)
2015 marks 70 years since the end of World War II. The
Hiroshima War Memorial, now a UNESCO World Cultural
Heritage, is an opportunity to think about the importance
of nuclear disarmament for peace. Hiroshima also hosts
another UNESCO World Heritage site, Itukushima shrine
(cover page), said to be one of three best views in Japan.
*Optional tours and programs in ports are not included in the voyage fare.
