Samurai Ring – Busan, Kanazawa & Hiroshima
About this cruise
If you've got 24 nights to work with, this sailing from Tokyo on August 4, 2027 through Akita, Sakata and Kanazawa, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Bullet trains visible from the harbour, cherry blossoms, and thousands of years of history. East Asia is a lot to take in. People come back from this cruise talking about Nagoya: Japan's automotive heart with castle grandeur. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Sapphire Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 15 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
