Ocean Discovery – Nagoya, Kochi & Hiroshima

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 18 nights from Tokyo on June 12, 2028, visiting Nagoya, Kochi and Hiroshima, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The route threads through 3 countries along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan coast: Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Diamond Princess has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 18-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
