Which ship operates this cruise?

The itinerary is typically operated by Princess Cruises aboard the elegant Diamond Princess, a ship known for its Japan-based sailings and cultural programming.

It runs during Japan’s cherry blossom season (usually late March to April), when sakura blooms peak at different times across regions, allowing for extended viewing opportunities.

What destinations are included?

You can expect a mix of major highlights and scenic ports such as Tokyo, Kyoto (via nearby ports), Osaka, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and lesser-known coastal towns known for seasonal beauty.

Will I actually see cherry blossoms?

Yes—though timing varies slightly each year. The itinerary is designed to “follow the bloom,” increasing your chances of seeing sakura at multiple locations throughout the voyage.

What is included onboard?

Guests enjoy accommodation, dining, entertainment, enrichment programs, and themed Japan-focused activities, including cultural workshops and regional cuisine.

Light layers for spring weather, a warm jacket for cooler evenings, comfortable walking shoes, and a camera for cherry blossom scenery.

Are shore excursions available?
