Itinerary 1
Day 1 Australia (or New Zealand) - Tokyo, Japan

Today, you'll fly to one of the most captivating cities in the world - Tokyo, Japan. Upon arrival, make your own way to your hotel for the next three nights. Once you have settled into your hotel, the rest of the day is yours to explore.

Please note: Due to flight scheduling and availability, some departures may occur on Day 0. Affected customers must be available to depart the day before. Flight times will be indicated on your final documents, issued 4-6 weeks before departure.

Overnight: Hotel Gracery Shinjuku or similar, Tokyo

Meals included: In-Flight

Day 2 Free Day - Tokyo, Japan

Enjoy a day at leisure in Tokyo.

Contemporary Tokyo may be the most astonishing city on earth. It's a paradoxical mix of ancient tradition and postmodern culture.

Ginza, an international shopping mecca, stands near the serene grounds of the Imperial Palace where the hyper-speed of 21st century consumerism is mysteriously reconciled with the elegance and serenity of traditional culture. Tokyo provides travellers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Overnight: Hotel Gracery Shinjuku or similar, Tokyo

Meals included: None

Day 3 Begin 9-Night Cruise - Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan

Depart: 15:00

Enjoy a morning at leisure before making your own way from your hotel to the cruise terminal to board the ‘Diamond Princess' cruise ship and begin your Japanese adventure.

Please note: Your cruise departs in Yokohama, approximately 45 kilometres from central Tokyo.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Dinner

Day 4 Toba, Japan

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 16:00

Toba, located at the northeastern end of the Shima-hanto Peninsula in Mie, flourished as the castle town of the Kuki family who ruled this region from the 16th century. It was also a landing spot for visitors on the sea route to Ise-jingu Shrine and belongs to Ise-Shima National Park.

Please note: This port is accessed by tender boats. Boarding and disembarking tender boats may involve steps and uneven surfaces. While cruise lines strive to provide ease of access, accessibility options can vary at different tender ports. Passengers with mobility concerns are encouraged to inquire about specific arrangements and consider their individual needs when participating in tendering activities.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 5 Kochi, Japan

Arrive: 09:00 - Depart: 17:00

Kochi sits on the broad alluvial plain facing Urado Bay. This city in Shikoku takes its name from the great feudal castle that sits at its very heart. Completed in 1611, Kochi Castle was the seat of Yamauchi Kazutoyo, a noted warrior who supported Tokugawa Ieyasu in his successful quest to become Shogun. Tosa Province and Kochi Castle were Yamauchi's reward for faithful service. There is an historical irony here: 250 years later, a Kochi native son - a former low-ranked samurai and now ronin named Sakamoto Ryoma - played a pivotal role in bringing the Tokugawa Shogunate to an end and restoring the Emperor of Japan to political prominence. The prize once awarded for faithful service had become a hotbed of support for the Meiji Restoration.

Kochi is one of the wettest places in Japan - and a frequent target for cyclonic storms or typhoons. Southeast of the city, warm oceans currents washing against the Aki Mountains create a subtropical landscape of hibiscus, palm and ficus at Muroto-Anan Quasi-National Park.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 6 Miyazaki (Aburatsu), Japan

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 17:00

Enjoy a day at leisure in Aburatsu, gateway to nearby Miyazaki.

Boasting some of the warmest temperatures in Japan, Miyazaki offers a playground of outdoor activities that take full advantage of its balmy breezes and aquamarine waters. A resort atmosphere permeates Miyazaki, fragranced by blooms from local botanical gardens. Emerald green golf courses, some of the best surfing in Japan, and a zoo with the largest number of flamingos in captivity in all of Japan add to the festive atmosphere. A Peace Tower, built with stones from throughout Asia anchors the city and Heiwadai Park and is one of the most noted landmarks. With free time you could visit Haniwa Gardens where over 400 replica haniwa (burial statues) make for wonderful photo opportunities, and see Miyazaki's history and culture on display at The Miyazaki Prefectural Museum of Nature and History, located on the same grounds as the picturesque Miyazaki Shrine. For a change of pace, stop into the Miyazaki Science Center where an animatronics "Dr. Cosmo" welcomes you to this hands-on museum. Looking for a little adventure? Try a side trip to Aoshima, a small island just off the coast of Miyazaki City, and enjoy the charming Aoshima Shrine and over 400 species of subtropical plants. The options are endless in Miyazaki to soak up local colour…or just soak up the sun!

Please note:
• Your ship will dock in Aburatsu, approximately 45 kilometres from Miyazaki.
• Charges may apply to the above activities.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 7 Nagasaki, Japan

Arrive: 09:00 - Depart: 18:00

For most travelers, Nagasaki is a symbol of the horror and the inhumanity of war. An estimated 74,000 people perished in 1945 when the city became the second target of a nuclear attack. Today, Nagasaki's Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Museum draw visitors from around the world (charges may apply).

But this beautiful city on Kyushu offers other sights. Often described as the San Francisco of Japan, the city occupies verdant hills surrounded by a deep-water bay. For three centuries, Nagasaki was Japan's sole window on the world. The city is also celebrated as the setting for Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly."

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 8 Busan, South Korea

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 20:00

The second largest city in South Korea, Busan is your gateway to a fascinating land whose culture is a unique amalgam of old and new. Modern high-rise towers dwarf ancient Buddhist temples. The city's bustling business district offers a stark contrast to the serene grounds of Yongdusan Park. In short, Busan is a microcosm of South Korea, a nation whose startling economic success often obscures one of Asia's most sophisticated and venerable cultures.

Busan was the scene of bitter fighting during the Korean War. The United Nations Memorial Cemetery marks the final resting place for the troops from 16 nations who gave their lives during the conflict.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 9 Kanmon Straits, Japan (Scenic Cruising)

Cruising through Kanmon Straits provides an opportunity to experience one of Japan's most incredible waterways. This expansive channel connects Honshu and Kyushu, 2 of Japan's 4 main islands.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 10 Osaka (for Kyoto), Japan

Arrive: 08:00 - Depart: 20:00

For centuries, Osaka was Japan's cultural and commercial gateway to Asia - the point of entry both for trade goods and, most importantly, cultural influences that shaped Japanese society. From tea to Zen, from art to science and philosophy, Osaka was Japan's contact with the great East Asian cultures that flourished in China and Korea. The city reached its zenith in the late 16th century, when the great feudal lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi made Osaka his capital. Toyotomi was master of Japan, and an immense administrative and commercial center rapidly developed around Osaka Castle. After Toyotomi's death, the nation's seat of power shifted from Osaka to a sleepy little fishing village called Edo - modern Tokyo. While overshadowed by Tokyo, Osaka remains one of Japan's largest cities and a vital commercial centre.

Modern Osaka is home to monuments from Japan's past including Toyotomi's immense castle and the Sumiyoshi Shrine. The city is also your gateway to Kyoto, Japan's ancient imperial capital and the nation's cultural and spiritual centre.

Please note: Your ship will dock in Osaka, approximately 60 kilometres from Kyoto.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 11 Cruising

Enjoy a day at sea aboard the 'Diamond Princess' cruise ship, starting with a tasty breakfast at the Horizon Court where you can take in the beautiful ocean views.

As night falls, watch a movie under the stars on the open deck where you can snuggle up with blankets and snack on popcorn. Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at Prego Pizzeria where you can savour Italian dishes before ending your night by catching a dazzling performance at the Princess Theatre.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 8 Hiroshima, Japan

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 17:00

On August 6, 1945, human history was irrevocably altered when the American bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The bomb was code-named "Little Boy," but its detonation left half the city in ruins and aflame. Today, Hiroshima is a monument not only to the destructive forces harnessed by men but also to the indomitable will of the human spirit to overcome tragedy. At the heart of the city lies Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome. The gutted walls of the city's old Industry Promotion Hall and the skeletal frame that supported its copper dome, vaporised in the blast, are instantly recognisable symbols of Hiroshima.

Travellers to Hiroshima can discover a more serene note at nearby Miyajima Island. One of the top-three scenic spots of Japan, the island is home to ancient Itsukushima Shrine, a designated National Treasure (charges may apply).

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 10 Kobe (for Kyoto), Japan

Arrive: 08:00 - Depart: 19:00

Kobe is one of the largest cities in Japan and is the capital city of Hyogo Prefecture on the southern side of the main island of Honshu. Its name comes from "kanbe", an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine. With a population of about 1.5 million, the city is part of the Keihanshin (Keihanshin) metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto.

The earliest written records regarding the region come from the Nihon Shoki, which describes the founding of the Ikuta Shrine by Empress Jingu in AD 201. For most of its history the area was never a single political entity, even during the Tokugawa Period, when the port was controlled directly by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Kobe did not exist in its current form until its founding in 1889.

Kobe was one of the cities to open for trade with the West following the end of the policy of seclusion and has since been known as a cosmopolitan port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake diminished much of Kobe's prominence as a port city, it remains Japan's fourth busiest container port. The city is the point of origin and namesake of Kobe beef as well as the site of one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen (charges may apply). Kobe is also your gateway to Kyoto, Japan's ancient imperial capital and the nation's cultural and spiritual center.

Please note: Your ship will dock in Kobe, approximately 80 kilometres from Kyoto.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 11 Shimizu (for Mt. Fuji), Japan

Arrive: 13:00 - Depart: 19:00

A mesmerising landscape, a revered cultural history, and Japan's most sacred volcano are just a few delights beckoning you to come and explore this ancient city. While nearby Shizuoka may have a reputation as bustling and modern, its cultural and spiritual side is displayed in the form of ancient and enthralling shrines. Of course, the sacred and snow-capped Mount Fuji may garner the most attention. Towering over the region at approximately 3776 metres above sea level, this active volcano was designated a "place and source of artistic inspiration" by UNESCO and is just one of the many unforgettable adventures Shimizu inspires.

Please note: Your ship will dock at Shimizu Port, approximately 13 kilometres from Shizuoka and around 75 kilometres from Mount Fuji.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

While overshadowed by Tokyo, Osaka remains one of Japan's largest cities and a vital commercial centre.

Modern Osaka is home to monuments from Japan's past including Toyotomi's immense castle and the Sumiyoshi Shrine. The city is also your gateway to Kyoto, Japan's ancient imperial capital and the nation's cultural and spiritual centre.

Please note: Your ship will dock in Osaka, approximately 60 kilometres from Kyoto.

Day 6 Kochi, Japan

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 15:00

Kochi sits on the broad alluvial plain facing Urado Bay. This city in Shikoku takes its name from the great feudal castle that sits at its very heart. Completed in 1611, Kochi Castle was the seat of Yamauchi Kazutoyo, a noted warrior who supported Tokugawa Ieyasu in his successful quest to become Shogun. Tosa Province and Kochi Castle were Yamauchi's reward for faithful service. There is an historical irony here: 250 years later, a Kochi native son - a former low-ranked samurai and now ronin named Sakamoto Ryoma - played a pivotal role in bringing the Tokugawa Shogunate to an end and restoring the Emperor of Japan to political prominence. The prize once awarded for faithful service had become a hotbed of support for the Meiji Restoration.

Kochi is one of the wettest places in Japan - and a frequent target for cyclonic storms or typhoons. Southeast of the city, warm oceans currents washing against the Aki Mountains create a subtropical landscape of hibiscus, palm and ficus at Muroto-Anan Quasi-National Park.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 7 Hiroshima, Japan

Arrive: 09:00 - Depart: 19:00

On August 6, 1945, human history was irrevocably altered when the American bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The bomb was code-named "Little Boy," but its detonation left half the city in ruins and aflame. Today, Hiroshima is a monument not only to the destructive forces harnessed by men but also to the indomitable will of the human spirit to overcome tragedy. At the heart of the city lies Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome. The gutted walls of the city's old Industry Promotion Hall and the skeletal frame that supported its copper dome, vaporized in the blast, are instantly recognizable symbols of Hiroshima.

Travellers to Hiroshima can discover a more serene note at nearby Miyajima Island. One of the top-three scenic spots of Japan, the island is home to ancient Itsukushima Shrine, a designated National Treasure (charges may apply).

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Day 9 Busan, South Korea

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 16:00

The second largest city in South Korea, Busan is your gateway to a fascinating land whose culture is a unique amalgam of old and new. Modern high-rise towers dwarf ancient Buddhist temples. The city's bustling business district offers a stark contrast to the serene grounds of Yongdusan Park. In short, Busan is a microcosm of South Korea, a nation whose startling economic success often obscures one of Asia's most sophisticated and venerable cultures.

Busan was the scene of bitter fighting during the Korean War. The United Nations Memorial Cemetery marks the final resting place for the troops from 16 nations who gave their lives during the conflict.

Overnight: Princess Cruises' Diamond Princess

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 10 Nagasaki, Japan

Arrive: 07:00 - Depart: 16:00

But this beautiful city on Kyushu offers other sights. Often described as the San Francisco of Japan, the city occupies verdant hills surrounded by a deep-water bay. For three centuries, Nagasaki was Japan's sole window on the world. The city is also celebrated as the setting for Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly."

Gratuities / tipping

Please note: Tipping for services provided is always a matter of personal discretion; however, please be aware that many locals consider tipping part of their normal remuneration, and they may approach you for payment; there's no need to be intimidated by the request.

Cruise
Gratuities (tips) are not included for the cruise staff's services throughout this tour's cruise component. Princess Cruises is an internationally registered company & operates to US & European standards, both of which have an economy driven by a tipping culture. Gratuities are expected on your cruise and will be charged to your onboard account from USD$17.00 per person per day (for Interior, Ocean View and Balcony Staterooms) or from USD$18.00 per person per day (for Mini-Suites). If you have any questions regarding the gratuities on your cruise, please speak to the guest services staff onboard the ship.

Other important information


TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide:
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Japan
From May to October, Japan experiences a range of weather conditions, with May and October generally offering the most comfortable temperatures and less rainfall. May sees pleasant highs from 18-25°C across cities like Toba, Kochi, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Osaka, and Tokyo, with lower humidity. June ushers in the humid rainy season, bringing increased precipitation and temperatures typically ranging from 21-27°C. By September, warm temperatures persist around 21-29°C, but it's also peak typhoon season, particularly in southern and eastern regions, leading to heavy rains and storms. October marks the arrival of cooler, drier autumn weather, with average highs settling between 19-24°C, and a significant reduction in typhoon activity, offering ideal conditions for travel.

Busan, South Korea 
Busan, South Korea, experiences distinct seasonal changes during May, June, September, and October. May is characterised by pleasant spring weather, with average high temperatures around 20-22°C and comfortable conditions. As June progresses, the city transitions into the beginning of the humid rainy season, with temperatures rising to an average of 23-25°C and an increase in rainfall. September remains warm, averaging 25-26°C for highs, but it is also a part of the typhoon season, bringing a higher chance of heavy rain and strong winds. Finally, October offers much cooler, drier, and very pleasant autumn weather, with average high temperatures around 19-20°C, and is generally considered an excellent time to visit.
