2. New Camellia Cabin Guide & Free Upgrade Review (5-person Japanese-style Room)

The New Camellia, the ferry to Fukuoka,

offers a wide variety of rooms, from shared dorms to luxury suites.

Let me share my experience of getting a free room upgrade! :)

📌 New Camellia Cabin Guide

1) Second Class (Standard Tatami / Bunk Beds)

2) First Class (5-person Japanese-style / 4-person Western-style / 2-person Western-style)

​

3) Deluxe Class (3-person / 2-person / 1-person)

📌 Free Cabin Upgrade Experience

There were five of us traveling together,

and we had originally booked Second Class.

But the staff on the New Camellia

told us they had an empty First Class 5-person Japanese-style room,

and upgraded us for free with no extra charge!

Thanks to this cozy First Class room with its charming, authentic Japanese vibe,

we kicked off our trip on a super-happy note.

3. Tips & Things to Know Before Boarding the Fukuoka Ferry

Since it was our very first time traveling by ferry,

we quickly realized it's a completely different experience from flying.

Here are some essential tips and things to keep in mind, based on our firsthand experience of traveling to Fukuoka by ferry.

📌 Getting from Busan Station to Busan Port

​

If you're coming from another city, taking the train is highly recommended.

It's only about a 10-minute walk from Busan Station to the Busan Port Terminal!

Even though check-in started at 18:40,

we decided to play it safe and arrived at Busan Station about 3 hours early!

📌 Picking Up Food Delivery at Busan Port

Once you board, mobile data and Wi-Fi

will no longer be accessible.

So, the plan of action is basically just to eat, relax, and sleep! :)

Since we arrived at Busan Port early,

we ordered dinner in advance through a delivery app

and picked it up before boarding!

The pick-up spot is Gate 4 on the 2nd floor.

It seems to be an unspoken rule at Busan Port.

Keep in mind that most nearby restaurants

have a break time from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM,

so definitely plan around that!

Onboard, there's also a convenience store where you can buy snacks,

cup ramen, drinks, and more.

With our delivered dinner

and a few cold beers from the convenience store,

we wrapped up the very first night of our trip perfectly.

---

With stunning night views

and a relaxing bathhouse looking out over the open ocean,

our Fukuoka journey was filled with pure romance.

The New Camellia made it an unforgettable adventure! :)
