From cherry blossom season and ancient temples to vibrant cities and unforgettable cuisine, discover Japan with Celebrity Cruises in 2027. Explore immersive itineraries, overnight stays and iconic destinations throughout Asia.

Japan offers a fascinating mix of ancient traditions, modern cities and cultural experiences, with something different to discover in every port. In 2027, Celebrity Cruises invites travellers to explore the country through a collection of Asia itineraries featuring destinations such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and beyond.

For those dreaming of seeing Japan in spring, select sailings coincide with the celebrated cherry blossom season. Picture pink blossoms framing city parks, historic landmarks surrounded by spring colour and views of Mount Fuji across the landscape. Both Celebrity Millennium and the renewed Celebrity Solstice offer Asia sailings during this sought-after time of year.

Travellers can also experience more of Japan through itineraries designed to allow time for exploration. A 12-night Best of Japan sailing aboard Celebrity Millennium includes a round-trip journey from Tokyo (Yokohama), with stops in Kochi, Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Mount Fuji (Shimizu), as well as Busan, South Korea. The itinerary also features an overnight visit to Kyoto (Osaka), giving guests additional time to explore the region’s temples, neighbourhoods and renowned food scene.

Beyond cherry blossom season, Celebrity Millennium’s 2027 schedule includes specially themed sailings around Japan’s Golden Week and summer festival periods. Across the broader 2027–2028 Asia program, travellers can also discover more than 50 overnight stays in destinations including Tokyo, Kyoto, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Phuket, offering more opportunities to experience these cities after the day visitors have departed.

After a day exploring historic sites, local markets and vibrant city streets, guests can return to Celebrity’s onboard experience, with elevated dining, attentive service and comfortable spaces to unwind between destinations. With opportunities to experience Japan’s iconic sights and cultural traditions in one journey, 2027 offers plenty of inspiration for travellers ready to discover somewhere new.
