Hong Kong to Tokyo, 23 April 2027
15 nights
Crystal Serenity
23 Apr '27Cruise overview
Our voyage starts with an overnight in Hong Kong – browse the shopping malls and hawker stalls, and take in the views from Victoria Peak. Next is Xiamen for some of China’s best beaches, and then two nights to explore Shanghai, from the historic streets of the French Concession to shiny, modern Pudong. Now we sail to South Korea, where Busan brings bustling street markets and Buddhist temples, and then we cross to Japan. In Hiroshima, spend time in quiet reflection at monuments such as the Peace Park, and in Beppu visit a traditional onsen. Another sea day takes us to Wakayama to see its moated castle and Shinto shrines. Maritime history and another spectacular castle await in Nagoya before the neon lights of Tokyo signal the end of this cruise.
Itinerary
Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Island skyline, with its ever-growing number of skyscrapers, speaks to ambition and money. Paris, London, even New York were centuries in the making, while Hong Kong’s towers, bright lights, and glitzy shopping emporia weren’t yet part of the urban scene when many of the young investment bankers who fuel one of the world’s leading financial centers were born. Commerce is concentrated in the glittering high-rises of Central, tucked between Victoria Harbor and forested peaks on Hong Kong Island’s north shore. While it’s easy to think all the bright lights are the sum of today’s Hong Kong, you need only walk or board a tram for the short jaunt west into Western to discover a side of Hong Kong that is more traditionally Chinese but no less high-energy. You’ll discover the real Hong Kong to the east of Central, too, in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and beyond. Amid the residential towers are restaurants, shopping malls, bars, convention centers, a nice smattering of museums, and—depending on fate and the horse you wager on—one of Hong Kong’s luckiest or unluckiest spots, the Happy Valley Racecourse. Kowloon sprawls across a generous swath of the Chinese mainland across Victoria Harbour from Central. Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of Kowloon peninsula, is packed with glitzy shops, first-rate museums, and eye-popping views of the skyline across the water. Just to the north are the teeming market streets of Mong Kok and in the dense residential neighborhoods beyond, two of Hong Kong’s most enchanting spiritual sights, Wong Tai Sin Temple and Chi Lin Nunnery. As you navigate this huge metropolis (easy to do on the excellent transportation network), keep in mind that streets are usually numbered odd on one side, even on the other. There’s no baseline for street numbers and no block-based numbering system, but street signs indicate building numbers for any given block.
