Japan Cruises

Japan cruises offer a well-paced way to experience the country’s contrast between ancient tradition and modern life. Most itineraries call at ports such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with additional stops in Hokkaido or the southern islands depending on the season. Cruises to Japan often highlight historic temples, carefully preserved gardens, regional cuisine and efficient, easy-to-navigate cities. Seasonal sailings are especially popular during cherry blossom season in spring, Golden Week in late April and early May, and autumn foliage in the fall. From large contemporary ships to smaller luxury vessels, Japan cruises provide broad access to culture, history and coastal scenery in a single journey.
