Pacific Perimeter – Nagasaki, Jeju & Keelung

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 19-night sailing leaves Yokohama on April 19, 2026 and visits Nagasaki, Jeju Island and Hakodate, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Yokohama, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan route takes in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Aomori: Gateway to Japan's northern festival of fire. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Diamond Princess keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Yokohama before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 8 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
