Cruise. Festival. Vacation. All in One.

A unique 3-day cruise combining fitness, live music, DJ parties, Okinawa free time, accommodation, and meals—all included in one ticket.

Non-Stop Entertainment at Sea

Enjoy two completely different nights of live concerts and DJ performances while sailing between Taiwan and Okinawa.

Wake Up Somewhere New

Spend the day exploring Okinawa, then return onboard for sunset parties, unforgettable performances, and late-night celebrations.

【The Wildest 3 Days of Your Life, Now at Sea】

Keelung ⇄ Okinawa

Step aboard the Star Navigator and set sail from Keelung to Okinawa. Enjoy fitness sessions, live concerts, DJ parties, Okinawa free time, comfortable accommodation, all-inclusive dining, and unforgettable experiences—all in one incredible journey.

Welcome to Taiwan's most exciting cruise festival.


【This Isn't a Cruise. This Is STEPSEA】

Think cruises are just buffets, ocean views, and sleeping? Then you haven't experienced STEPSEA.

Start your morning with the ocean breeze instead of your phone. Spend the afternoon joining fitness sessions, challenging yourself, and meeting new people. At night, dance in the middle of the ocean with live artists, DJs, and more than 1,500 fellow travelers.

When you're tired, your cabin is just upstairs. When you wake up, the next adventure is already waiting.


【72 Hours of Your Ideal Lifestyle】

A floating utopia for the new generation.

Wake up. Train. Eat well. Party all night. Sleep comfortably. Repeat.

STEPSEA combines fitness, music, food, and travel into one unforgettable experience. This isn't about escaping the city—it's about leaving all of its stress behind.


【More Than a Trip. A Story at Sea】

You're not looking for another vacation. You're looking for a story you'll still be talking about long after you return.

Music festivals end when the show is over. Nightclubs are always the same crowd. The gym is where you usually train alone.

STEPSEA brings everything together. Eat together. Train together. Party together. Explore Okinawa together.

After three days, you'll leave with more than memories—you'll leave with lifelong friendships.


【One Ticket. Four Ways to Experience Life】

STAY | Cruise Accommodation

Relax in your private cabin whenever you need a break, then wake up and jump straight back into the action.

EAT | All-Inclusive Dining

Enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks across multiple restaurants—all included.

PLAY | Concerts × DJs × Fitness

Poolside concerts, DJ parties, fitness challenges, deck fun runs, and sunrise yoga keep every moment exciting.

ISLAND | Explore Okinawa

Step ashore to discover Okinawa's food, shopping, and sightseeing, all in one seamless trip.
