Neon Zenith – Taipei, Okinawa & Tokyo

About this cruise

This one leaves Hong Kong on April 13, 2027 and spends 10 nights visiting Keelung, Miyako-jima, Kagoshima, Kochi, Kobe (Osaka) and Tokyo at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The trip wraps in Tokyo, so you won't retrace your steps. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Karaoke bars, hot springs, and temples draped in moss. East Asia does culture and chaos in equal measure. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Coral Princess keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 10-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
