Samurai Horizon – Incheon, Busan & Hiroshima

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 28-night sailing leaves Tokyo on March 12, 2028 and visits Kochi, Kagoshima and Nagasaki, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 16 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Incheon, Seoul's harbour gateway to Korean culture. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Noordam keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 5 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 Tokyo before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
