Ocean Discovery – Busan, Seogwipo-si & Shanghai

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Shanghai on February 21, 2028 for 5 nights visiting Busan and Jeju Island. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. You get around 11 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 takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Shanghai has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the February cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
