After booking, a mobile boarding pass was sent via KakaoTalk,
so I easily completed check-in without a separate paper ticket.
I moved along the indoor pathway of the terminal to board the ship.
At the entrance, the crew members greeted me with bright smiles, making me feel
like I was a movie star.
After confirming my reservation at the reception, I received my cabin key and
ID card lanyard.
As soon as I entered the ship, I was greeted by welcome food and drinks!
For drinks, you can choose between white wine and grape juice.
I happily started with a glass of white wine.
Exploring Onboard Facilities (5th ~ 8th Floor)
After unpacking my luggage, I set out to explore the ship.
The Panstar Miracle has more to enjoy than I expected.
🔸Kids' Zone (5th Floor): A space is provided for young children to play safely,
making it perfect for families.
🔸Unmanned Convenience Store: You can conveniently purchase snacks and essential daily necessities anytime. (As this is a domestic route, the duty-free shop is not operating)
🔸Miracle Wellness Center: A well-equipped space featuring a massage area, as well as
a 5 PM Zumba dance class and a 6:30 AM yoga class the next day.
🔸Sauna: I used it after dinner, and the water pressure was strong.
I highly recommend it as you can truly relieve your fatigue while feeling the gentle sway of the sea in the warm bath!
📍 My top recommended spot: the VIP Lounge!
Located at the front of the ship, you can enjoy panoramic open ocean views during the day
and the nightscape of Gwangandaegyo Bridge at night.
The prices for drinks and alcohol are also reasonable, making it perfect for enjoying a beer
and just relaxing with the mesmerizing water views.
As you go up to the 8th-floor deck, you're greeted by an open expanse of sea,
along with beautiful dome-shaped tables and photo zones set up.
As soon as we set sail at 4:30 PM,
an exciting departure event unfolded, filled with lively music, games, and gift giveaways,
and the atmosphere was absolutely electric!
(You can even spot the swimming pool facilities downstairs!)
A Feast on the Sea (Dinner & Breakfast)
If you look at reviews for Panstar Cruise, many refer to it as a 'cruise culinary hotspot,'
and after trying the food myself, I completely understood why!
The menu seemed primarily curated with dishes popular among older generations,
and I loved the variety available at the buffet.
What's more, the prices for alcoholic beverages sold on board
were the same as in regular restaurants, which was a pleasant surprise.
The next morning, we enjoyed breakfast while watching the sun rise over the sea.
From clear soups to settle our indulgent appetites,
to cereal and bread, we ate our fill and prepared to disembark.
If you book a suite, your meals get a slight upgrade,
so don't miss out on that!
Highlight: Onboard Fireworks Show & Night Party
At 8:45 PM, after dinner,
the moment we'd all been waiting for arrived: the highlight of this trip, the onboard fireworks show,
unfolds!
This was completely different from watching fireworks from Gwangalli Beach!
It was on a whole other level!!
Right above us, on the deck, with booming sounds,
as you watch the fireworks painting the night sky,
you can't help but be utterly mesmerized by their splendor.
This fireworks show alone makes the trip 1000% worth it!
For a 70th birthday celebration trip or a family vacation, this kind of event is simply a must-have!
After the fireworks show, on the indoor stage, a witty MC led the festivities,
followed by saxophone performances, a magic show, and guest singer performances,
which continued late into the night.
There were many songs that our parents' generation would particularly love,
totally igniting the excitement of those on a 'filial piety trip.'
Many guests come for 70th birthday celebration trips or alumni reunions,
and they truly have an amazing time.
After several encores, the performances finally wrapped up.
But there's no need to feel sad that the show is over!
After the show, you can head to the onboard Pocha set up on the deck,
A cool beer while enjoying the sea breeze!
The prices are reasonable, and the crew's overflowing energy
allows you to have an unforgettable night.
Panstar Miracle Cruise Review & Tips
No need to carry your luggage around from place to place,
with dining, accommodation, sauna, performances, and even a fireworks show all available on board!
It's an all-in-one perfect healing trip!!
The thrill of passing under Busan Harbor Bridge
and the night view of Busan from the middle of the sea are privileges
you can only experience on a cruise.
Although you're not traveling far on the ship,
on wavy days, you might feel a bit of seasickness.
So, if you're sensitive, we recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
📍Booking Tip: Especially as the end of the year approaches,
bookings for company groups, alumni reunions, etc., fill up quickly.
Once your travel dates are set, it's essential to book right away for this
one-night Panstar Cruise.

The limited Ocean Club on August 29th is also an event you won't want to miss!
Although it was a short one-night, two-day trip, it felt like a refreshing and fulfilling experience,
as if I'd been on a long overseas journey.
It was a truly happy time.
If you're looking for a special urban getaway on a weekend, I highly recommend it!!
