Japan and Portugal Set to Welcome Sefu, R Yacht’s Luxury Small-Ship Newbuild Shaping Future Asian Tourism
A new chapter in luxury travel across Japan and Portugal has begun to unfold as the cruise and tourism sector has been introduced to R Yacht Co.’s upcoming small-ship newbuild, the Sefu.
The vessel, which will be constructed at the West Sea shipyard in Viana do Castelo, has been positioned as a future icon of yacht-style exploration, blending refined comfort with deep cultural connections to the regions it will traverse.
R Yacht Co., a cruise company from Japan with a focus on remarkable architecture, has unveiled the primary details of their newbuild, the Sefu, set to launch a new type of cruise experience in Japan and around the world. Sefu will operate in exclusive locations such as the Setouchi region and the Nansei Islands, and will be the first of her kind in Japan and the world.
Sefu will be the first yacht-styled cruise ship to be built in the West Sea shipyard, located in Viana do Castelo in Portugal, estimated to be completed and setting sail in the Summer of 2027.
With a gross tonnage of approximately 10,000 tons, a length of 120 meters, and a width of 19 meters, the Sefu has been designed for small-ship navigation, enabling access to destinations unreachable by larger cruise vessels.
The launch of the Sefu has been positioned as a significant moment for both Japan’s high-end tourism market and Portugal’s shipbuilding expertise.
By selecting the West Sea shipyard in Viana do Castelo for the construction process, R Yacht Co. has shown confidence in a European facility recognized for its modern craftsmanship and history of building contemporary small-ship vessels.
This collaboration between a Japan-based cruise operator and a Portuguese shipyard has been anticipated to enhance intercultural cooperation in the maritime sector while strengthening Portugal’s growing reputation as a hub for advanced shipbuilding.
