Ocean Discovery – Sendai, Hakodate & Aomori

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Tokyo on November 4, 2027, visiting Sendai, Hakodate and Aomori, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. 13 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. 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 Nagoya: Japan's automotive heart with castle grandeur. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Jade has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 13 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
