✨ A Journey Beyond the Ordinary ✨
On 12 March 2026, Michi & Co. was delighted to host an exclusive Hankyu Ă— PONANT gathering at GalleryBe Singapore, welcoming discerning travellers for an intimate introduction to the world of luxury expedition cruising.
More than a presentation, the afternoon was designed as a multi-sensory journey inspired by “ Sakura “Chasing” Voyage Along Japan’s Coast.“ 🌸🚢
Guests experienced Japanese culture through hands-on workshops, including wagashi finishing paired with matcha tasting and yukata dressing. The event also featured a special live calligraphy performance by Showfu, who created Sakura Kaido against a backdrop of music.
To bring the voyage to life, Chef Akane curated a collection of finger foods inspired by the cruise’s eight ports of call. Guests were invited to enjoy a guided gallery tour, exploring each destination through its story, flavours, and atmosphere, engaging all five senses along the way.
A beautiful afternoon and evening of inspiring conversations, cultural discovery, and a glimpse into one of Japan’s most extraordinary luxury cruise experiences.
Thank you to our guests and partners for making this special occasion so memorable.
