Ocean Discovery – Yokohama, Shimizu & Nagoya

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Yokohama on May 12, 2027, visiting Shimizu, Nagoya, Kobe (Osaka), Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Singapore. You get off in Singapore, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 4 countries along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan coast: Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Navigator Of The Seas has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 12 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
