Experience Japan’s fascinating culture and heritage onboard the Diamond Princess on this superb Circle Japan cruise, beginning your journey from Tokyo!
The Circle Japan cruise begins in the bustling city of Tokyo where tradition and postmodern culture meet. Take a stroll through Hakodate’s morning market and try out the fresh seafood offered by vendors or in local restaurants. Following that, take a sample of the famous rice and sake from Niigata and immerse yourself in the authenticity of the local community.
Next you will be sailing to Korea’s large port city, Busan where you can explore its unique mix of old and new. The city is well known for its beaches, mountains and ancient Buddhist temples, therefore, make sure you don’t miss out visiting Yongdusan Park.
Back in Japan we will visit Nagasaki, a place that holds a painful history from the nuclear attack in 1945. Today, Nagasaki’s Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum draw visitors from around the world. Stop by Kagoshima, a city that lies on the Satsuma Peninsula that holds mountainous, geothermal wonders of hot springs before circling back to Tokyo.
Diamond Princess is a treasure trove of exceptional delights: dine on freshly prepared sashimi in Kai Sushi, watch street performers in the dazzling Piazza, or take in a lavish production show in the state-of-the-art theatre. For a unique treat visit the Izumi Japanese Bath, the largest of its kind at sea.
