Discover traditional Japan, forged by millennia of traditions, where nature and the sacred become one.
This journey begins in Busan, South Korea with 3 nights accommodation included before your cruise. A perfect spot to spend a couple of days unwinding after your arrival flight. A full day private tour is included, allowing you to discover beautiful temples and shrines and the stunning landscapes.
Once onboard your ship, relax and enjoy the elegant ambiance of Le Jacques-Cartier as you cruise Japan's southern coastline.
Among the trade winds, the dreamlike landscapes of lush green hills, mystical mountains and ancestral temples nestling in preserved nature will fill you with wonder. Toba, Miyajima, Kumamoto… the historic cities reveal their imperial secrets throughout the different ports of call, while Zen gardens and peaceful temples celebrate Shinto heritage. This journey into the heart of the Japanese soul will also immerse you in the moving history of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which are now some of Japan’s most relaxed and fascinating destinations.
Onboard, enjoy exquisite cuisine, included beverages, exceptional service and one included excursion per person per day. Remember to check out the Blue Eye Lounge - a unique opportunity to enjoy undersea views and the sounds of the marine world from the below-the-waterline lounge.
