The Journey

Depart Singapore aboard Royal Caribbean and sail north toward Japan. This five-night voyage introduces Japan's most storied port cities at a composed, unhurried pace — with the comfort and amenities of a world-class cruise ship as your moving base.

Nagasaki

A city shaped by history and resilience. Guided shore excursions trace the Peace Park, Glover Garden, and the atmospheric Dejima trading post. The harbour views at dusk are among Japan's most quietly powerful.

Hiroshima & Miyajima

The Peace Memorial Museum and the iconic floating torii gate at Miyajima Island. A day that moves between solemnity and extraordinary natural beauty — one of Japan's most memorable shore experiences.

Kobe

Japan's most cosmopolitan port city. The Kitano district's European-style residences, Kobe beef at source, and easy access to Osaka and Kyoto for those who wish to extend the day inland.

The Journey

Azamara's intensive Japan itinerary is designed for travellers who want more than a glimpse. Nine ports across fifteen nights means genuine immersion — enough time in each location to move beyond the surface and experience Japan with real depth.

Tokyo & Shimizu

Begin in Tokyo — the world's most dynamic city. Shimizu provides the iconic Mount Fuji backdrop and the serene Miho no Matsubara coastline. Azamara's overnight stays in select ports allow evening exploration that day-trippers never experience.

Kyoto, Osaka & Kobe

The cultural heartland of Japan. Kyoto's temples, geisha districts, and bamboo groves. Osaka's extraordinary food culture and Dotonbori energy. Kobe's cosmopolitan refinement and world-famous beef. Three cities, each irreplaceable.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki & Kagoshima

Southern Japan's most historically significant ports. Hiroshima's Peace Memorial and Miyajima Island. Nagasaki's layered history and harbour beauty. Kagoshima — the Naples of Japan — with Sakurajima volcano as its dramatic backdrop.

Hong Kong

Begin in Hong Kong — Asia's most dynamic city. Victoria Peak at dusk. The Star Ferry crossing. Michelin-starred dining in a city that takes food seriously. The contrast between the colonial heritage of Central and the sensory energy of Mong Kok. A city that rewards those who know where to look.

Japan Islands

From Hong Kong, fly into Japan and begin an island exploration that moves at a considered pace. The sacred island of Miyajima. The ancient streets of Naoshima — Japan's art island. The quiet drama of the Seto Inland Sea. Cultural immersion that goes well beyond the standard tourist circuit.

Curated Dining

Both Hong Kong and Japan are among the world's great culinary destinations. TIJT curates dining experiences that reflect the best of each location — from Cantonese dim sum at its finest to kaiseki in a centuries-old Kyoto townhouse.
