JR Kyushu Jet Ferry has launched local sightseeing cruises on its Queen Beetle Hydrofoil in Fukuoka Prefecture in response to the suspension of international travel due to Covid-19.
The 502-seat vessel departs from Hakata Port on three routes – Fukuoka Bay, Itoshima Coast and Okinoshima – before returning to Hakata Port. Each cruise takes about two hours.
Three scenic routes are offered on the Queen Beetle
Created by the award-winning designer behind JT Kyushu’s Seven Stars deluxe sleeping train, Eiji Mitooka, the Queen Beetle is designed as a luxurious space. Passengers can enjoy spacious seats, exceptional seascape views from the onboard dedicated observatory, shopping and multiple F&B options.
