History
AI-generatedOriginally built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki as Crystal Harmony for Crystal Cruises, this vessel was transferred to parent company Nippon Yusen Kaisha and renamed Asuka II to replace the original MS Asuka. During its maiden voyage as Crystal Harmony, the ship experienced a fuel leak fire in an auxiliary engine room that left it without power for sixteen hours before limping to port for repairs. As of August 2022, Asuka II was the largest cruise ship in Japan.
