Cruise JAPAN in CHERRY BLOSSOM season

Experience the beautiful spectacle and discover the wonders of Tokyo and Mount Fuji in 2022

-

Each spring, millions of Japanese people wait for the first buds of the pink cherry blossom to appear. Next year, you’ll have the chance to experience it yourself. On this 15-day cruise, exclusivel­y for GH readers, you’ll journey far and wide through this fascinatin­g land.

Our trip starts in the capital, 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 Mount Fuji.

Travelling on the Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Solstice, you’ll enjoy world-class amenities. Embark on a culinary journey 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 city of Kobe, the hot springs of Nagasaki, Korea’s port of Busan, Kochi, seafood in Hakodate and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Shirakami-sanchi mountains.
