Pacific Crossing – Yokohama & Hakodate

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 15 nights from Los Angeles on October 2, 2026, visiting Hakodate, Muroran, Shimizu and Yokohama. You get off in Yokohama, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Karaoke bars, hot springs, and temples draped in moss. East Asia does culture and chaos in equal measure. Most ports give you about 13 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Navigator Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 15 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
