About This Cruise
The 12 Night Cruise Japan Intensive Cruise: Tokyo, Kagoshima & Osaka is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Azamara Pursuit. You board in Hiroshima and disembark in Aomori, calling at 8 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Hiroshima, Fukuoka), South Korea (Busan) and Japan (Sakaiminato, Maizuru, Kanazawa and 2 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Hiroshima and home from Aomori, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 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.
