About This Cruise
The 28 Night Japan's Cherry Blossom Exploration is a 28-night one-way itinerary aboard Seabourn Encore. You board in Tokyo and disembark in Kobe/Osaka, calling at 14 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Tokyo, Kochi, Kochi and 9 more), South Korea (Busan, Busan) and Japan (Sakaiminato, Kanazawa, Niigata and 4 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Tokyo and home from Kobe/Osaka, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 8 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.
