Samurai Coastline – Kobe, Busan & Hiroshima

About this cruise

This one leaves Tokyo on August 24, 2028 and spends 10 nights visiting Nagoya, Kobe (Osaka) and Kochi, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. Karaoke bars, hot springs, and temples draped in moss. East Asia does culture and chaos in equal measure. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Diamond Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
