NSB is now offering five sisterships on a route between the U.S. West Coast and Asia.

The Hanjin Boston, Hanjin Yantian, Hanjin Baltimore, Hanjin Dallas and Hanjin Miami can each accommodate a maximum of eight passengers in one Owner's Suite, two Double Cabins, and two Single Suites, all with private facilities. The dining room and lounge with TV/Video are shared with ship's officers. A sauna, fitness room (usually with either a stationary bicycle or rowing machine), indoor (seawater) pool, deck chairs, and laundry facilities are all available to passengers. There is a steward on board, and the ship offers weekly cabin service. There is an elevator, but passengers should still be able to negotiate many stairs, since the cabins, dining room, lounge, laundry facilities, swimming pool and fitness room are located on various decks, and the elevator cannot always be relied on. The lead officers are German, and the remainder of crew is typically German or Filipino. The vessels were built in 2005, and are 92,984 DWT and about 984 feet long (300 meters).

The Owner's Suite is on F deck, is carpeted, and about 376 square feet (approx. 35 square meters). The living room has a wardrobe, refrigerator, TV/DVD, sitting arrangement with sofa, a desk, chairs, sideboard, and views to the front and side.

The cabin offers a wardrobe, refrigerator, TV/DVD, sitting arrangement with sofa, a desk, chairs, a sideboard, with a view to the front. The double bed is about 78" x 70" (2 x 1.8 meters).
Double Cabin #2 (Purser Cabin) is on F deck, is carpeted, and is about 194 square feet (approx. 18 square meters). There is a partition wall between the living room and bedroom. The cabin offers a wardrobe, refrigerator, TV, sitting arrangement with sofa, a desk, chairs, with a view to the front. The double bed is about 78" x 70" (2 x 1.8 meters).

Both are on F deck, and are carpeted. The living room has a wardrobe, refrigerator, TV, sitting arrangement with sofa, chairs, a desk, and views to the side and back.

NSB offers the Hanjin Amsterdam, Hanjin Athens, Hanjin Brussels and Hanjin Ottawa on an 84 day itinerary from Long Beach or Oakland, California to Italy and Spain via the Far East. Five passengers can be accommodated in one Owner's Suite, one double suite, and one single cabin.

The price is the same for either cabin. The Owner's Suite is starboard middle and the double suite is port side middle. Each suite has two rooms, with a separate sitting room and sleeping room, and has a wardrobe and one bed measuring approximately 80" x 70" (2.05 x 1.80 m). Passengers will enjoy a video/DVD player, refrigerator, and mini stereo in each cabin. There are two sofas in the sitting room, a desk, and three chairs. The cabins are carpeted.

There is one single cabin on the port side of E deck, which is a forward-facing one room cabin that is approximately 193 square feet (18 square meters), with a bed that is about 80" x 49" (2.05 x 1.25 m).
