Tideborn Tapestry – Tokyo & China

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Hong Kong on February 13, 2028 and visits Shanghai, Kagoshima and Nagasaki, with additional stops along the Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. The sailing ends in Tokyo. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 8 port calls start. 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 Shanghai: The Bund's skyline rewriting the horizon. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Noordam has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Hong Kong itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 8 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
