Japanese Coastal Journey – Kyoto, Hiroshima & Hakodate

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Yokohama on April 9, 2028, visiting Nagoya, Shimizu and Kobe (Osaka), with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Every single day is a port day. 13 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. Karaoke bars, hot springs, and temples draped in moss. East Asia does culture and chaos in equal measure. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Jade has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
