About This Cruise
The 28 Night China & Japan Far East Discovery is a 28-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Noordam. You board in Hong Kong and disembark in Tokyo, calling at 12 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in China (Hong Kong, Shanghai), Japan (Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Fukuoka and 8 more), South Korea (Busan) and Japan (Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Kochi and 2 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Hong Kong and home from Tokyo, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 10 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.
