With services connecting Tohoku and Hokkaido, the Port of Nagoya Ferry Terminal is widely utilized for cargo transport, business and leisure travel. This ferry terminal, consisting of two berths for 10,000-ton class vessels and a passenger terminal, was constructed by the Public Corporation in the early 1970’s as a base for large and long-haul car ferry services. Today, ferries have become an indispensable transport mode supporting domestic logistics and passenger traffic, and are attracting renewed attention as a key player in a modal shift from automobile to maritime transportation, which will alleviate road traffic congestion and environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions.
Oceania Cruises' Nauitca visits Nagoya (Mar 26), Kobe for Kyoto (Mar 27), and Hiroshima (Mar 28) on the 16 days Dynasties and Rising Suns cruise from Tokyo (Overnight Stay, Mar 24-25 ) to Hong Kong in 2012.
