Gilded Shrines – Kobe, Keelung & Hong Kong

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Tokyo on October 4, 2026, visiting Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka), Keelung, Hong Kong, Da Nang and Singapore. Last stop: Singapore. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. It's a proper Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan tour: 5 countries, from Japan to Singapore. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Royal Princess has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. 12 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. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
