Samurai Shadow – Busan, Kobe & Nagasaki

About this cruise

9 nights, 6 ports, all from Yokohama on June 14, 2027. The route visits Toba-Mie, Kobe (Osaka), Nagasaki, Busan, Kochi and Shimizu and the whole thing just flows. It splits nicely: 6 days seeing places and 2 days doing nothing at all. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Diamond Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 9-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
