Tropical Paradise – Ishigaki & Miyako

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Naha on December 30, 2026 visits Ishigaki, Keelung and Miyako-jima and makes every day count. 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. Of the stops, Ishigaki tends to be the one people talk about: Japan's tropical gateway to Yaeyama coral reefs. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Bellissima takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
