Day 1
11th Sep '26
Shanghai (Baoshan)
When you cruise from Shanghai, check the essential items off the to-do list: See the classical architecture of the Bund neighborhood and walk among the smell of tea and incense in the fortified Old City. Then, if you have extra time, see the nearby Qibao Ancient Town — check out the pagoda-like bell tower, see Qibao Template (it dates back to the 900s) and snap pics of the photogenic bridges and buildings along the Puhui River.

Kyoto (Maizuru)
The gentle seaside city of Maizuru will win you over with its quaint collection of mountainside temples, pristine beaches and historical museums. Cruise to Kyoto and check out Maizuru Red Brick Park, a series of warehouses that today serve as a museum, and be transported to a Cold War-era spy thriller. See the nearby Amanohashidate sandbar, a 3-kilometer-long isthmus that connects the bay in a picturesque stretch of white sand and pine trees. Or head into central Kyoto, about a 90-minute drive from port — walk among the red torii gates of Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, or climb to the top of Kyoto Tower for the area’s best views.

Niigata, Japan
Niigata is the place to go to experience Japan’s natural bounty. With four seasons of dramatic beauty – with a full month of cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, golden hues in autumn and snow-capped mountains in winter – this port city on the Sea of Japan is a nature lover’s dream. Cruise to Niigata and head to Bandai Pier, where you can sample the most famed white fish in Japan from the local vendors. Explore the Niigata’s opulent history at the tatami-clad Northern Culture Museum. Indulge your inner geek at the interactive Niigata Manga and Animation Museum. Or take the cable car to the summit of Yuzawa – you can ski here in winter and take in panoramic views year-round.

Hakodate
Hakodate overflows with historic architecture and steamy hot springs . Located along Hokkaido’s southwestern tip, it’s the perfect spot to begin exploring this island’s unique history and culture during your vacation. Cruise to Hakodate and start your day at the morning Hakodate-Asaichi, or Morning Market, and tuck into a hearty kaisendon, a bowl of ultra-fresh sashimi fish over steamed rice. Then, relax with a soak in the Yunokawa hot springs on Hakodate’s outskirts, or check out Goryokaku Fort — the nearby tower lets you take in a bird’s-eye view of the star-shaped design surrounded by a moat. And don’t leave without taking in the million-dollar views of the city from atop Mt. Hakodate.
