Japanese Island Odyssey – Fukuoka, Nagasaki & Kagoshima

About this cruise

By December 20, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 9 nights out of Hong Kong, visiting Hakata (Fukuoka), Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Yatsushiro (Kumamoto), and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Spectrum Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 9-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
