Japan & Taiwan Discovery – Yokohama to Hong Kong

About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Yokohama on November 30, 2026 and visits Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka) and Kochi, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. The sailing ends in Hong Kong. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan route takes in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Jade keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 9-night sailing is a strong place to start.
