Neon Jade & Shinto Shrine – Jeju, Kobe & Shimizu

About this cruise

You sail from Shanghai on May 9, 2027 and spend 8 nights visiting Jeju Island, Hakata (Fukuoka), Kobe (Osaka), Shimizu and Yokohama. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You get off in Yokohama, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 5 stops with a breather between each one. Karaoke bars, hot springs, and temples draped in moss. East Asia does culture and chaos in equal measure. Most ports give you about 13 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, 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. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
