Inland Sea Discovery – Hiroshima, Kobe & Jeju

About this cruise

You board in Tokyo on April 2, 2026 for 9 nights visiting Hiroshima, Kagoshima, Jeju Island, Sasebo and Kobe (Osaka), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. 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. Sasebo stands out. It's Japan's naval city at the gateway to Kujukushima's 99 islands. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Bellissima has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
