Ocean Discovery – Kobe/Osaka, Kochi & Busan

About this cruise

You board in Yokohama on April 21, 2028 for 10 nights visiting Kobe (Osaka), Kochi, Busan, Nagasaki and Shimizu, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Bullet trains visible from the harbour, cherry blossoms, and thousands of years of history. East Asia is a lot to take in. Keep an eye out for Kobe (Osaka): Where Wagyu beef meets harbour-side elegance. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Solstice keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Yokohama before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 10 nights well spent.
