Far East Discovery – Kobe & Yokohama

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Shanghai on March 21, 2026 and visits Kobe (Osaka) and Yokohama. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. When you're not ashore, Spectrum Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Shanghai has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Shanghai and come back with stories from Kobe (Osaka) and Yokohama.
