Land of the Rising Sun – Tokyo, Kobe & Busan
About this cruise
12 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Tokyo on July 26, 2027 and the route takes you through Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka), Kochi, Busan, Hakodate and Aomori at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Bullet trains visible from the harbour, cherry blossoms, and thousands of years of history. East Asia is a lot to take in. Busan stands out. It's Temples on the mountain, fish markets by the sea. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Millennium has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
