7 Mar '28Cruise overview
Japan in Full Bloom from Tokyo to the Charms of Kyushu.
Cherry blossom season transforms Japan slowly, city by city, petal by petal, and this nineteen night journey with Seabourn Encore is timed to catch it at its most fleeting and beautiful. It begins in Tokyo, where three days allow the city to reveal itself at its own pace, before the ship carries you southwest through waters that connect some of the most resonant places in modern history. Standing in Hiroshima, or walking the slopes above Nagasaki’s harbour, you feel the weight of the past alongside the quiet determination of the present. Further south, Kagoshima faces the brooding volcano of Sakurajima across the bay, a reminder that Japan has always lived close to the edge of something powerful. Then Osaka opens up across two full days, generous and loud and full of life, before a final morning glide past Mount Fuji brings the journey to a close in the gentlest, most memorable way possible.
