Cruise overview

Discover traditional Japan, forged by millennia of traditions, where nature and the sacred become one. Among the trade winds, the dreamlike landscapes of lush green hills, mystical mountains and ancestral temples nestling in preserved nature will fill you with wonder. Toba, Shingu, Himeji, Miyajima… the historic cities reveal their imperial secrets throughout the different ports of call, while Zen gardens and peaceful temples celebrate Shinto heritage. This journey into the heart of the Japanese soul will also immerse you in the moving history of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which are now some of Japan’s most relaxed and fascinating destinations.

Itinerary

Day 1

Busan


White-sand city beaches and hot-spring resorts may not be everyone’s first image of Korea, but these are what Koreans flock to Busan for all year. And there are plenty of opportunities for rest, relaxation, retail therapy, and even a touch of glamour every October with the Busan International Film Festival. Busan’s beaches are the big summertime draw but there is plenty to be seen year round. Quintessential experiences include taking some rest and relaxation at a local spa and exploring the Beomeosa temple complex.
