Cobalt Tides – Aomori, Busan & Nagasaki

About this cruise

This one leaves Yokohama on April 20, 2027 and spends 9 nights visiting Aomori, Muroran, Hakodate, Busan and Nagasaki at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Karaoke bars, hot springs, and temples draped in moss. East Asia does culture and chaos in equal measure. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Diamond Princess has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 9-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
