Cruise Itinerary
The MS Westerdam sails on April 11, 2027 for a 14 Night Circle Japan (Tokyo To Yokohama). The ship will depart the port of Tokyo, Japan at 7:00 PM and will return to the port of Yokohama (tokyo), Japan on Apr 25th at 6:30 AM. During the 15-day journey, the MS Westerdam will visit 12 additional ports and will spend 2 days at sea.
Huge department stores brim with shoppers, neon flashes from dusk to dawn, and the entire world pays heed to the slightest fluctuation on the Nikkei Index. From the Imperial Palace and Meiji Shrine to the fabled Ginza district, 21st-century Tokyo is an intriguing composite of East and West. Japanese houses of wood and paper stand in the shadow of towering steel and mortar. Not far away, one of the world's most impressive sights soars 12,388 feet to its snow-clad peak: Mount Fuji, the majestic symbol of Japan.
This large, bustling port is the starting point for tours to the ancient cities of Kyoto and Nara, the cultural fountainheads of classical Japan. Kyoto's Imperial Palace and the shogunal Nijo Castle remain glorious symbols of the power the city held for over 1,000 years. But you may wish to stay in Osaka itself for a few days to experience the delightful cuisine, including okinomiyaki (Japanese pancakes), tako yaki (fried octopus balls, and more.
On the upper tip of Japan's southern island of Kyushu, Fukuoka (Hakata) is one of the few large cities in Japan that can actually be described as "laid back." Fukuoka is one of Japan's most colorful and fun cities, famous for its raucous nightlife and world-class restaurants. If you're headed here, though, put off the fancy restaurants for a day or two and head to the famous ya-tai alley for wonderful, inexpensive food.

Opened to U.S. ships in 1854 and then in 1857 to general foreign trade, Hokodate was the chief port of Hokkaido until recently replaced by Sapporo. It is linked with Aomori on Honshu by the Seikan Tunnel. A commercial and industrial center, the city's main industries are fishing, shipbuilding, and food processing. Of interest is the Goryokaku, the fort where the Tokugawa shogun made his last stand.

Japan's second largest city and one of its leading seaports, Yokohama belongs to the extensive urban-industrial belt around Tokyo called the Keihin Industrial Zone. The city has four universities; a variety of Christian churches, Shinto shrines, and temples; and numerous parks and gardens, notably Nogeyama Park, which was created after the earthquake of 1923. It is the site of Kanazawa Library, founded in 1275, which houses a large collection of historical documents.
