Imperial Inkwell – Kagoshima, Keelung & Saigon

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Yokohama on November 25, 2026 and the route takes you through Kagoshima, Nagasaki and Ishigaki, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan at a pace where there's never any need to rush. The sailing ends in Singapore. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. It's a proper Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan tour: 5 countries, from Japan to Singapore. People come back from this cruise talking about Singapore: A garden city where cultures converge. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Diamond Princess has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 8 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
