12-Night Best of Japan Cruise

Experience the timeless beauty and vibrant spirit of Japan on the 12-Night Best of Japan Cruise aboard the elegant Celebrity Millennium. This immersive round-trip sailing from Tokyo blends centuries-old tradition with modern sophistication, offering a rich cultural journey across Japan — with a captivating stop in South Korea.

Your adventure begins in Tokyo, where futuristic skylines rise beside serene shrines and historic districts. After embarkation, you’ll set sail for a thoughtfully curated itinerary showcasing Japan’s most iconic regions, coastal gems, and cultural heartlands.

Your journey both begins and ends in Tokyo, a city where neon lights and ancient temples coexist in perfect harmony. Explore traditional Asakusa, indulge in world-class sushi, or enjoy panoramic city views before and after your cruise.

Docking in Osaka provides access to the cultural treasures of Kyoto, Japan’s ancient imperial capital. Over two days, discover golden temples, tranquil Zen gardens, traditional tea houses, and geisha districts. Alternatively, explore Osaka’s vibrant street food scene and historic Osaka Castle.

Located on Shikoku Island, Kochi offers a more relaxed and authentic side of Japan. Visit Kochi Castle, stroll through lively local markets, and sample regional specialties like seared bonito.

Your international stop brings you to Busan, a dynamic coastal city known for colorful hillside villages, seaside temples, and fresh seafood markets. The blend of mountains, ocean views, and vibrant culture makes this port especially memorable.

Nagasaki is a city of resilience and rich global influence. Explore its historic trading districts, peaceful gardens, and museums that reflect its unique blend of Japanese and Western heritage.

Often compared to Naples for its scenic bay, Kagoshima sits beneath the dramatic presence of Sakurajima volcano. Enjoy lush gardens, samurai history, and sweeping coastal landscapes.

One of the voyage’s visual highlights is your call to Shimizu, gateway to Mount Fuji. On clear days, witness Japan’s most iconic peak rising majestically above the horizon — a breathtaking finale before returning to Tokyo.

Three relaxing sea days give you time to enjoy everything Celebrity Millennium offers — from refined dining and live entertainment to spa indulgences and quiet moments in the adults-only Solarium. It’s the perfect balance to your port explorations.

Recently revitalized, Celebrity Millennium combines contemporary design with warm hospitality. Guests enjoy:

• Globally inspired cuisine and specialty restaurants
• Enriching onboard programs and destination lectures
• Stylish lounges and sunset views at sea
• Spa treatments, fitness classes, and serene relaxation spaces

With a balanced mix of immersive port days and rejuvenating sea days, this 12-night voyage offers both discovery and downtime in equal measure.

From Kyoto’s timeless temples to Mount Fuji’s iconic silhouette, this sailing captures the very essence of Japan — refined, scenic, and deeply cultural. Paired with Celebrity’s signature service and comfort, the 12-Night Best of Japan Cruise is an unforgettable way to experience the Land of the Rising Sun.
