Japanese Discovery – Tokyo to Busan

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 12 nights from Tokyo on September 23, 2026, visiting Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka) and Kochi, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. The trip wraps in Incheon, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 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. Keep an eye out for Hakata (Fukuoka): Tonkotsu ramen capital of Kyushu. 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. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Tokyo itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 12 nights well spent.
