Your home for all 9 nights aboard Princess Cruises Diamond Princess — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 9 Night Japan Explorer is a 9-night round-trip itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Diamond Princess. You board and return in Yokohama, calling at 6 ports across 1 country along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Yokohama, Toba, Kobe/Osaka and 5 more).
Because it's round-trip from Yokohama, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. 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.
