Golden Hour at Sea: A Romantic Voyage on the Explorer Dream

Setting sail from Keelung Port, the Explorer Dream of Star Cruises gently drifts away from the shore, carrying a ship full of laughter and anticipation towards Wakayama, Japan. The salty sea breeze fills the air as I stand on the deck, watching the port lights fade into the distance, replaced by the endless expanse of blue. As evening falls, the sun slowly dips below the horizon, painting the sky in gradients of orange, red, and purple. The sea glimmers with golden ripples, as if a luminous pathway to a dreamland has been laid out. In this moment, I want to do nothing but hold a cocktail in hand and quietly watch the sun bid goodnight to the sea. The Explorer Dream is more than just a mode of transportation; it infuses the journey with a sense of vacation from the very moment of departure. On the voyage from Keelung to Wakayama, the sunset hour is the memory I most wish to cherish from my time at sea. 📍 **Location**: Explorer Dream, Star Cruises (Keelung Port—Wakayama Route)
