Shrine & Shogun Trail – Jeju, Hiroshima & Osaka
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 9 nights from Incheon on April 1, 2027, visiting Jeju Island, Nagasaki and Kagoshima, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. Last stop: Yokohama. Every single day is a port day. 9 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. 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, There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Jade, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
