Island Jewels – Ishigaki & Miyako

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Naha on December 2, 2026 visits Ishigaki, Keelung and Miyako-jima and makes every day count. No sea days at all on this one. 3 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Bullet trains visible from the harbour, cherry blossoms, and thousands of years of history. East Asia is a lot to take in. People come back from this cruise talking about Miyako-jima: Okinawa's emerald isle of pristine beaches. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 9 restaurants on MSC Bellissima, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Naha itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 3 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
