Japanese Archipelago – Yokohama & Jeju

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Yokohama on March 16, 2028 and visits Nagoya, Kobe (Osaka), Naha, Jeju Island, Yatsushiro (Kumamoto) and Shimizu. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. Yatsushiro (Kumamoto) stands out. It's Kumamoto's port beneath a storied castle. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Solstice has 10 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Yokohama itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
