Far East Odyssey – Yokohama & Busan

About this cruise

If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Yokohama on April 21, 2026 through Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka) and Kochi, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Last stop: Tokyo. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Bullet trains visible from the harbour, cherry blossoms, and thousands of years of history. East Asia is a lot to take in. Of the stops, Busan tends to be the one people talk about: Temples on the mountain, fish markets by the sea. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Celebrity Millennium. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
