Your home for all 12 nights aboard Princess Cruises Diamond Princess — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 12 Night Circle Japan Cherry Blossoms is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Diamond Princess. You board in Tokyo and disembark in Kagoshima, calling at 13 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Tokyo, Toba, Nagasaki and 14 more), South Korea (Busan, Busan) and Japan (Nagasaki, Kagoshima).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Tokyo and home from Kagoshima, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
