Japan & Korea Discovery – Yokohama & Busan

About this cruise

A 12-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Yokohama on March 14, 2027 and visits Kobe (Osaka), Kochi and Busan, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Last stop: Tokyo. 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. Of the stops, Nagasaki tends to be the one people talk about: A city of peace, bridges, and lantern festivals. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Millennium takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
