About This Cruise
The 10 Night Circle Japan is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Diamond Princess. You board in Yokohama and disembark in Shimizu, calling at 10 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Yokohama, Hakodate, Niigata), South Korea (Busan), Japan (Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Kochi and 6 more), South Korea (Busan, Busan) and Japan (Nagasaki, Shimizu).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Yokohama and home from Shimizu, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.
