Indigo Tide – Nagasaki, Busan & Aomori

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Yokohama on June 6, 2027 visits Nagasaki, Busan, Sakaiminato (Matsue) and Aomori. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. Aomori stands out. It's Gateway to Japan's northern festival of fire. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Diamond Princess keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Yokohama before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
