Ocean Discovery – Kobe/Osaka, Naha & Busan

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Yokohama on August 19, 2028 and visits Kobe (Osaka), Naha, Busan, Hakata (Fukuoka), Nagasaki and Shimizu. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. People come back from this cruise talking about Nagasaki: A city of peace, bridges, and lantern festivals. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Celebrity Solstice. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 6 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
