Your home for all 12 nights aboard Celebrity Millennium — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 12 Night Best of Japan is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Celebrity Millennium. You board in Tokyo and disembark in Shimizu, calling at 7 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Tokyo, Kobe/Osaka, Kochi), South Korea (Busan) and Japan (Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Shimizu).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Tokyo and home from Shimizu, 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.
