Ocean Discovery – Kobe/Osaka, Kochi & Hiroshima

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 12 nights from Yokohama on October 17, 2026, visiting Kobe (Osaka), Kochi and Hiroshima, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 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, You won't go hungry on Celebrity Millennium. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Yokohama and come back with stories from Japan and South Korea.
