Copper Bell Horizon – Kobe, Busan & Hakodate
About this cruise
Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 11-night sailing leaves Tokyo on July 24, 2027 and visits Nagoya, Kobe (Osaka) and Kochi, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. Keep an eye out for Kochi: Japan's castle town on the Shikoku coast. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Sapphire Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 11 nights well spent.
