Japan-based Cruises

Experience the Land of the Rising Sun on these remarkable journeys featuring fascinating, lesser-traveled ports throughout Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Russia. Sail on one of nine new 2013 cruises and be immersed in Japanese culture from the moment you step on board, as many of the passengers joining you will be from Japan, and there will be unique Japanese-infused offerings from cuisine, music, entertainment and more.

Tokyo, Japan

To visit Tokyo is to be transported to a mesmerizing metropolis that mixes ancient tradition with postmodern culture. One of the world's great cities, this thriving locale offers a virtually unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining for those who visit, in addition to its many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens. 

The very heart of Japan

Hiroshima and Nagasaki offer rich history and culture not to be missed. But with visits to off-the-beaten-path ports such as Beppu, Nagoya and Sakaiminato also included on these remarkable sailings, you'll truly capture the essense of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Onboard experience

With a mostly Japanese clientele and crew on board, passengers will have the option to enjoy a truly ‘local' experience, ranging from traditional Japanese meals and noodle bars to tea and sake menus, Japanese-themed entertainment and more, along with Princess signature cuisine and other popular features.

Points North… and West

North from Japan lies the Russian port town of Korsakov, which was once ruled by Japan from 1905 to 1945 and shows its Japanese lineage. South Korea's second-most populated metropolis of Busan is a relaxing seaport traversed by travelers the world over.

Shore Excursions

From Maizuru, visit Kyoto's Zen rock garden and Golden Temple. Or visit the renowned geothermal waters and spas along the Jigokumeguri in Beppu. Castles and temples, gardens and museums – and there is at least one tour offered led by English-speaking guides in each fascinating port!
