The Inspiration Behind Bonbo’s Creation

Bonbo was born from the desire to enhance community engagement during local events and corporate collaborations. His name derives from the French phrase 'Bon voyage', which symbolizes the joy and anticipation of travel. Through internal surveys, the company gathered input on character designs, including elements like a captain's hat and a pouch, ensuring Bonbo resonates with a wide audience and can be readily embraced by guests.

April 27 is a special date for Sea Line Tokyo as it marks the company's anniversary, and it has also been designated as Bonbo's birthday. As a perpetual symbol of the company, he represents the commitment to providing guests with safe and enjoyable cruising experiences.

Bonbo’s Endearing Design

One of Bonbo’s notable features is his round, two-headed shape, which enhances his appeal among both young and old. His friendly personality is crafted to attract attention and shed light on the unique offerings of Symphony Cruise. As he navigates through events, Bonbo is set to become an integral part of the brand, showcasing the fun and excitement that awaits passengers aboard.

Future Plans for Bonbo

Looking ahead, Bonbo is scheduled to make appearances across various platforms, including the official website and social media channels. The mascot's efforts are geared toward amplifying awareness of Symphony Cruise among potential passengers. There are plans for Bonbo to participate in collaborative events, adding an interactive element to the cruising journey.

Furthermore, welcoming guests at waiting areas will be part of Bonbo's role, making cruising not only enjoyable on board but also during the thrilling anticipation of setting sail.
