Dock in Kochi to explore its imposing castle and savour the authentic flavours of Hirome Market at your own pace before visiting Hiroshima's moving memorials. Glide by the dramatic scenery of Kagoshima and discover Nagasaki's historic shrines. Cross over to South Korea’s volcanic Jeju Island before disembarking in Incheon, gateway to nearby Seoul.

Itinerary 2 starts with time at leisure in Tokyo before boarding Norwegian Jade. Look for Shimizu’s iconic Mount Fuji views and explore Nagoya’s historic city. An overnight port call in Kobe gives ample time to sample world-renowned Kobe beef and explore neighbouring Kyoto. Admire the blossom-laden gardens of Wakayama's historic castle before taking in views of Kagoshima’s Sakurajima volcano and discovering Nagasaki. Finally, experience the charm of South Korea’s Jeju Island and Seoul's ancient palace traditions from the port of Incheon.

Enjoy authentic cultural encounters in Matsuyama and Wakayama, before docking in Nagoya and Shimizu on your return to Tokyo to cap off your adventure.

Itinerary 4 cruises from Incheon, South Korea, gateway to cosmopolitan Seoul. Once onboard, take in Jeju Island’s seaside charms before sailing across to Japan’s Nagasaki. Discover the natural landscapes of Kagoshima, gain an insight into Hiroshima's poignant history and feel the heat of Beppu’s steaming geothermal "hells". Explore Tokushima’s festival traditions, then cap off your cruise in Nagoya and Shimizu’s views of Mount Fuji, before disembarking in Yokohama for a 2-night stay in the heart of Tokyo.

Whether you sail east or west, the timeless magic of Tokyo’s neon-lit streets, South Korea's cultural charm and sweeping Mount Fuji panoramas await among a flutter of pink cherry blossoms. Choose your favourite itinerary, then step aboard Norwegian Jade for the ultimate springtime getaway.

Want more? Upgrade your cabin or extend your adventure with Arrive Early and Stay Behind options.

Please note: The cherry blossoms can be difficult to predict. Every year is different and there are variations across the country. What’s more, there are multiple sakura varieties, each coming into flower at a slightly different time and lasting for a different period (most stay for around two weeks). Therefore we cannot guarantee the trees will be blooming in locations visited on this itinerary. To increase the likelihood of cherry blossom viewings, we recommend booking dates later in March.

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.

Mobility:
If you require wheelchair access please contact our friendly sales and service team to inquire on your behalf.

Fitness Level Required:
Adventure (and spontaneity) create some of the best travel memories. Bear in mind, your home schedules and timings might not be adhered to on tour - it's all part of the fun!

A relaxed level of fitness will be required. 
Expect a comfortable pace of touring with a focus on leisure time and gentle activity. This may include city tours, the ability to walk up and down small flights of stairs and gentle slopes. You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance. Please note: Some areas may be inaccessible to wheelchairs or mobility scooters, with personal walking sticks and other aids required should they be needed. Although some assistance may be available, every traveller should be self-reliant during all aspects of their travel.

Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.
Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Yellow Fever:
A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in many countries. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing. Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival.
You must check with your doctor well before leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Shopping: 
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. 
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.

Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.
