Hong Kong to Tokyo

Our voyage starts with an overnight in Hong Kong – browse the shopping malls and hawker stalls, and take in the views from Victoria Peak. Next is Xiamen for some of China’s best beaches, and then two nights to explore Shanghai, from the historic streets of the French Concession to shiny, modern Pudong. Now we sail to South Korea, where Busan brings bustling street markets and Buddhist temples, and then we cross to Japan. In Hiroshima, spend time in quiet reflection at monuments such as the Peace Park, and in Beppu visit a traditional onsen. Another sea day takes us to Wakayama to see its moated castle and Shinto shrines. Maritime history and another spectacular castle await in Nagoya before the neon lights of Tokyo signal the end of this cruise.
