Far East Grand Tour – Japan & Taiwan

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 13 nights from Hong Kong on February 19, 2028, visiting Keelung, Jeju Island and Nagasaki, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. You get off in Yokohama, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Taiwan, South Korea and Japan) across the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan, each with its own character. Don't rush through Shimizu, which is known as Mount Fuji's closest port with tea plantation views. Roughly 13 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Celebrity Solstice. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 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 a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 8 ports across 13 nights covers a lot.
