Santa Maria Sightseeing Cruise, Osaka Port
The largest sailing-ship-style sightseeing cruise boat in the Osaka Bay Area, built at about twice the size of Columbus's flagship Santa Maria. It departs from the pier next to Kaiyukan, and the day cruise of about 45 minutes shows the Tempozan Bridge, the Minato Bridge and the Tempozan Ferris wheel from the sea; a twilight cruise of about 60 minutes runs for limited periods.
