Japanese Discovery – Kobe, Hiroshima & Busan

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 12 nights from Yokohama on March 10, 2028, visiting Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka) and Kochi, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. Don't rush through Shimizu, which is known as Mount Fuji's closest port with tea plantation views. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Millennium 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 told, 7 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
