Launched in 1990, Kaisei has already traversed the globe and sailed thousands of people to far reaching ports in the spirit of Global Partnership.

Kaisei participated in the Columbus Fleet Events in 1992 and had the honor of flying the UN flag due to her international crew and mission.

Kaisei has visited over 15 countries, crewed by volunteers from over 26 nations.  Her voyages have created a powerfully diverse network of supporters; dissolving racial, ethnic, religious, political, and age barriers around the world.  Kaisei has sailed International Peace Missions with citizens of political "hot spots" such as joint crews of Japanese and Korean citizens.
