Japan Cruises

Steeped in tradition and the harmony of ancient sites and natural wonders.

Take in all the sights of Tokyo on a cruise to Japan. As the country’s capital city, Tokyo is Japan’s leading center of business and finance yet also boasts deep roots in history. In the heart of the city, a dense forest glade shrouds visitors from the bustle and houses the Meiji Shrine, its setting symbolizing the separation of the spiritual from the worldly. Nearby, surrounded by stone walls, park area and moats, stands the Imperial Palace. With the Tokyo Tower and Mt. Fuji in view, experience the harmony of modern and ancient on a cruisetour of Japan.

Highlights of Japan Cruisetours

Embark on a magical voyage that leads you along the shores of Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido. Visit Nara’s impressive Todaiji Temple and the breathtaking Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Gaze out over the city from Tokyo’s Skytree Tembo Deck perched 1,148 feet. Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kyoto with stops at Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Pavilion) and Nijo Castle.

Discover the beauty of Japan

Japan is a study in contrasts: tranquil retreats of profound beauty lay just outside cities where skyscrapers soar over stunning temples and shrines. Neon-bright architecture and tranquil gardens vie for attention amid the colorful Harajuku district and traditional kimonos. As the No. 1 North American cruise line in Japan with the “Best Asia Itineraries † ,” you can be assured that Princess® will be your guide to the colors, cultures and flavors that define this exciting country.

Shore excursions

Experience Japanese culture with an adventure in Tokyo that celebrates tea, the art of calligraphy, and the essence of the Japanese spirit. Get off the beaten path and discover Taketomi Island, the site of a beautifully preserved, traditional Ryukyu village just off the shore of Ishigaki. In Kochi, don a helmet and headlamp and explore the cavernous natural wonder known as the Ryugado Cave, a National Natural Monument. Stroll through a 17th-century garden and survey 700 years of history at a museum devoted to Satsuma’s Shimazu clan in Kagoshima.

Organised holiday bookings with Iglu

Organised holiday bookings with Iglu - Daniel Forsyth - l feel compelled to write and say how pleased l was to have Daniel help me.He is indeed a real Star!..a real asset to Iglu! Nothing is any trouble for Daniel. He has been most informative, very experienced and knowledgeable and a true professional.Arrnging my cruises with Daniel has not given me complete peace of mind and great confidence- but he has been extraordinarily kind and emphatic. I admire his patience and tenacity. This job entails with people often calling for lots of information and then deciding not to go ahead after a lotvif research and time being spent - this must br most frustrating . Daniel has been so very patient and helpful and always proactive and cheerful. On a scale out of 10, l would give Daniel a good 10+. I would definitely recommend Daniel and Iglu. He has made my Booking experience so reassuring and comforting - that all will be well and that added enhanced excitement for my oncoming cruises. I have actually booked 2 cruises and am also seriously looking at the pre-reg cruises too - all because of Daniel.

Thank you Steven at iglu

I booked a cruise

I booked a cruise, when the link came through to check the details were correct I spotted an issue/ error which I raised straight away. It is now 4 weeks since I raised this and am still waiting for a response. It is something that I expected and wanted resolved before paying the final balance which is due to be paid tomorrow. Very disappointed.

Date of experience : 19 March 2024

Quick response time answering phone

Quick response time answering phone. Agent was polite and helpful and transaction was easy. Agent more than price matched a quote I had received elsewhere.

Luxury Cruises to Japan

During a cruise to Japan with Celebrity, you'll visit extraordinary cities with an ancient culture that seamlessly blends with the country’s ultra-modern architecture and lifestyle. Japan cruises offer you the chance to discover captivating Shinto shrines, stroll through meticulously-planned formal gardens, savor the freshest sushi, and visit some of the world's most beautiful mountain scenery.

Visit Tokyo, where you can explore the city's intricate temples, shop in its bustling markets, and enjoy its diverse and delicious food. You'll also visit Kyoto, where Buddhist temples and the gracefully curved nagare-zukuri style of architecture contribute to the city’s celebrated beauty. Admire Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in the country, its snow-capped cone a symbol of Japan. Uncover the rich history, serene nature, and modern buzz of Japan on a luxury cruise to Asia with Celebrity Cruises.

Japan Cruise Highlights

Authentic cultural experiences.

Japan has one of the deepest, best-preserved cultures anywhere on earth, and you'll get to experience this first-hand on cruises to Japan. In Tokyo, with its skyscrapers and Shinto shrines side-by-side, you'll feel the intricate balance of old and new Japanese culture. In Kyoto, explore more than 1,600 temples and shrines, including the iconic Kinkaku-Ji, or "Golden Pavilion." Enjoy traditional Japanese music, folkloric dance, and art, all on one incredible journey that brings you cultural enrichment at every turn.

Unique Cuisine

Dining in Japan is a treat, offering extraordinary diversity, creativity, and adventurous ingredients. You can find fresh, delicious sushi and sashimi, but look out, too, for fantastic yakitori (skewered chicken), tempura (vegetables or seafood fried in a light batter), udon (thick wheat noodles), and much more.

Natural Wonders

Japan is a land of natural beauty and wonder, and you'll have the opportunity to see some of the country's most beautiful natural sights during your cruise. Visit majestic mountains, sacred hot springs, and charming botanical gardens. Enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, or see the stunning red leaves of fall. No matter when you choose to cruise, Japan's natural beauty will be on display for you to cherish.

Featured Japanese Cruise Ports

A Japan cruise will take you to a diverse mix of ports. Some of these ports, like the famous capital city of Tokyo, offer a city experience full of skyscrapers, fine dining, and a chance to witness the day-to-day life of many who live in Japan. Other ports you’ll visit during a cruise around Japan provide a more tranquil setting with opportunities to get out into nature and visit ancient temples and shrines. In addition, many of our Japan cruise itineraries offer overnight ports of call to experience the nightlife of Japan; these may take place in Kobe and Kyoto.

From mountains to beaches, exciting markets and fascinating museums, Celebrity brings you the best of Japan in these exciting itineraries.

Very helpful and pleasant staff

Very helpful and pleasant staff. Had a further query once booked andcemail was answered promptly. We have used Iglu for our last few cruises and have had no issues whatsoever.

Speedy service!

I hadn’t asked for a call back it was very helpful and answered all my questions. I did feel I was being pushed a bit into booking eg the cabin was the last one, couldn’t be held etc but this was more or less true. My ring back came right on the said time. Lots of follow up e mails but as to be expected I am now being inundated with cruise holidays e mails from Iglu. I have used Iglu before and have encountered no problems so would recommend them.
