Tokyo to Incheon, 27 April 2029

Cruise overview

Bidding farewell to Tokyo, our first port of call is Shimizu, famous for its fresh tuna and fabulous views of the snow-capped Mount Fuji, then bustling Nagoya, the birthplace of Toyota. An overnight in Osaka brings plenty of time to enjoy this neon-lit city’s world-famous nightlife and street food: sample staples like okonomiyaki (savoury cabbage-based pancakes) and ikayaki (grilled squid skewers). In Kochi, explore ancient temples and hike to the impossibly blue Nikobuchi Waterfall, before a day at sea brings us to Kagoshima to visit Sengan-en, sprawling gardens that overlook Kinko Bay towards the active volcano Sakurajima. Next is Nagasaki, a vibrant city with a turbulent history: visit the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum for a somber account of the 1945 bombing and its aftermath. Relax with another day at sea before we reach our final destination, the South Korean city of Incheon, near Seoul.
