Tranquil Tropics – Ishigaki & Miyako

About this cruise

4 nights from Naha, visiting Ishigaki, Keelung and Miyako-jima. It sails December 6, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." No sea days at all on this one. 3 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Bullet trains visible from the harbour, cherry blossoms, and thousands of years of history. East Asia is a lot to take in. Don't rush through Ishigaki, which is known as Japan's tropical gateway to Yaeyama coral reefs. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Bellissima. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 3 ports across 4 nights covers a lot.
