Temple & Trade – Kobe, Busan & Nagasaki

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 12 nights from Tokyo on July 13, 2026, visiting Shimizu, Kobe (Osaka), Kochi, Busan, Nagasaki and Kagoshima. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Millennium has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
