Dragon's Wake – Busan, Keelung & Saigon

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 28 nights from Yokohama on November 11, 2026, visiting Aomori, Sakata and Kanazawa, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. You wind up in Singapore, so it's worth planning a night or two there. 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. The route threads through 6 countries along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan coast: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Diamond Princess has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 28 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
