The finest way to experience the world
View All OffersHere is the arithmetic in Japan's favour: the cities a ship calls at, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, Kagoshima, Hakodate and Kobe among them, would take you a fortnight of trains and half a dozen hotels to reach on land. By ship you unpack once and wake in a new one most mornings, with the sailing done overnight so the daylight is spent ashore rather than in transit. Berths for cherry blossom, the last week of March into early April, are the first to go and autumn colour follows close behind; Japan cruise 2026 sailings in those windows are largely sold, and Japan cruise 2027 itineraries open for booking while the current season is still at sea. Please note: Japan cruise itineraries are flexible by nature, and port calls, scenic cruising and daily timings may vary according to weather, sea conditions and operational requirements.
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are considered the most pleasant, offering mild weather, cherry blossoms or autumn foliage, and ideal conditions for sightseeing across cities and countryside.
