Neon Horizons – Kobe, Kagoshima & Keelung

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Yokohama on January 11, 2027 visits Kobe (Osaka), Aburatsu-Nichinan, Kagoshima, Keelung and Hong Kong. You finish in Hong Kong. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The route threads through 3 countries along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan coast: Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Kagoshima alone is worth the trip, Japan's Naples, in the shadow of Sakurajima. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Spectrum Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Yokohama itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Worth booking. That's the short version.
