Ocean Discovery – Shimizu, Kagoshima & Nagasaki

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from August 7, 2028 and let this sailing from Yokohama do its thing. The route covers Shimizu, Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Busan, Hakata (Fukuoka) and Kobe (Osaka) and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Yokohama, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. Kobe (Osaka) alone is worth the trip, Where Wagyu beef meets harbour-side elegance. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Solstice has 10 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Yokohama itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
