Cruise JAPAN in CHERRY BLOSSOM season
Experience the beautiful spectacle and discover the wonders of Tokyo and Mount Fuji in 2022
Japan is a unique blend of ancient and modern. It boasts countless natural wonders and cultural highlights but, perhaps, no single experience is as beautiful or memorable as ‘hanami’ – cherry blossom viewing.
Each spring, millions of Japanese people wait for the first buds of the pink cherry blossom (known as ‘sakura’; the symbol of renewal, vitality and beauty) to appear. Next year, you’ll have the chance to experience it for yourself. On this 15-day cruise, exclusively for Good Housekeeping readers, you’ll journey far and wide through this fascinating land. Our trip starts in the frenetic capital city, Tokyo, which combines soaring skyscrapers with blooming gardens, noodle houses and western-style restaurants. And no trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to its most iconic landmark, the 3,776m Mount Fuji.
Travelling on the Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Solstice, you’ll enjoy world-class amenities. Embark on a culinary adventure with menus crafted by award-winning chef Cornelius Gallagher, using locally sourced ingredients and paired with the most awarded wine collection at sea.
Other highlights are the hillside city of Kobe, the hot springs of Nagasaki, Korea’s port of Busan, seafood in Hakodate, Kochi and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Shirakami-sanchi mountains.
