Description
History
Eastern Venus was built under the name Pacific Venus in 1998, with its first voyage being a 40-day one across East Asia that same year. Since then, the ship sailed around Japan and went as far as Europe. On the vessel's 15-year anniversary (in January 2013), it followed the same route as it did on its first journey, this time taking 42 days.
Venus Cruise Line, in November 2022, announced it would be shutting down its operations and business, and the last voyage under the company (and name Pacific Venus) would be from Kobe, Japan and back within the period of 27 December 2022 to 4 January 2023. Venus Cruise Line had approximately 80 voyages with about 25,000 domestic tourists yearly before the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
