Japanese Immersion
Welcome to Japan! Serene gardens and Shinto shrines accompany you on this 10-night cruise aboard Oceania Cruises’ Nautica. From sumo spectating and fresh-caught sashimi to tea ceremonies and temples, come experience this part of the world in a new way.
Begin your journey in metropolitan Tokyo (Yokohama) and set sail for Nagoya. Take in Kyoto (Kobe)’s storied pagodas and in Hiroshima, find solace amidst the hustle and bustle—the striking Hiroshima Peace Memorial and the sanctuary of the Shukkei-en Garden are must-see attractions. In Busan, explore the renowned large Buddha statues at the Main Buddha Hall. Discover remnants of old Nagasaki. Take a walk through the budding cherry blossoms under the gaze of Mt. Fuji and before you return to Tokyo’s neon wonderland, sample sushi at Shimizu’s dockside fish market.
