Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 2 countries over 9 nights, beginning and ending in Tokyo, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 10 port days and 5 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise

The 9 Night Hokkaido Cherry Blossoms is a 9-night round-trip itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Sapphire Princess. You board and return in Tokyo, calling at 10 ports across 2 countries along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in Japan (Tokyo, Aomori, Muroran and 1 more), South Korea (Busan), Japan (Nagasaki, Tokyo, Kagoshima), South Korea (Seogwipo-si) and Japan (Kochi, Toba, Tokyo).

Because it's round-trip from Tokyo, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 5 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.
