Ocean Discovery – Shanghai, Kumamoto & Kagoshima
About this cruise
There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Shanghai on March 15, 2028 and visits Yatsushiro (Kumamoto), Kagoshima, Kobe (Osaka) and Yokohama. The trip wraps in Yokohama, so you won't retrace your steps. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. You get around 13 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Spectrum Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Shanghai has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.

Getting there: out to Shanghai, home from Yokohama
This cruise does not return to Shanghai. It ends in Yokohama, so your flight home leaves from there.
