About

Day by day itinerary

Days 1-4
UK to Tokyo

After enjoying your complimentary airport lounge access, fly out to Tokyo arriving the next day, where an included shared transfer will see you to your hotel for a three night stay at the Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku.

Lights, sushi, manga! Sprawling, frenetic, and endlessly fascinating, Japan’s capital is a city of contrasts. Shrines and gardens are pockets of calm between famously crowded streets and soaring office buildings. Mom-and-pop noodle houses share street space with Western-style chain restaurants and exquisite fine dining. Shopping yields lovely folk arts as well as the newest electronics. And nightlife kicks off with karaoke or sake and continues with techno clubs and more. Whether you seek the traditional or the cutting edge, Tokyo will provide it.

Discover the city by yourself or contact us for bespoke touring and excursion options

Day 5
Tokyo

After a morning exploring the city, take your private transfer to the port to embark the ship.

Day 6
At Sea

Relax on board the ship making use of the pool deck, the spa facilities or simply find a quiet corner to relax with a good book.

Days 7-8
Osaka

 Osaka is a city that pulses with its own unique rhythm. Though Osaka has no shortage of tourist sites, it is the city itself that is the greatest attraction. Home to some of Japan's best food, most unique fashions, and warmest locals, Osaka does not beg to be explored—it demands it. More than anywhere else in Japan, it rewards the impulsive turn down an interesting side street or the chat with a random stranger.

Day 9
Hososhima

With stunning countryside and quite indescribable vistas, Hososhima welcomes its visitors with jagged coastlines and traditional charms. Undoubtedly the most striking of these can be found at the Takachicho Gorge. A gentle drive with excellent views of active volcano Mount Aso takes you to the sheer cliffs, aquamarine waters and the thundering 56-foot waterfall of the gorge proper.  Further afield yet still less than five kilometres away from Hososhima lies Hyuga, a small town that boasts some of the most beautiful Mimitsu townhouses outside of Kyoto and Osaka.

Days 10-11
At Sea

Enjoy your time at sea with breakfast in your suite, taking in a lecture or visiting the spa for a treatment.

Days 12-13
Tianjin

Beijing is a vibrant jumble of neighborhoods and districts. Day-to-day life seems to pulse the lifeblood of a Beijing that once was. Hidden behind Beijing's pressing search for modernity is an intriguing historic core. Many of the city's ancient sites were built under the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). A number of the capital's imperial palaces, halls of power, mansions, and temples were rebuilt and refurbished during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Despite the ravages of time and the Cultural Revolution, most sites are in good shape, from the Niujie Mosque, with Koranic verse curled around its arches, to Tiananmen Square, the bold brainchild of Mao Zedong.

Day 14
At Sea

Time at sea allows for downtime and opportunities to catch up on a movie, read a book or to relax around the pool.

Days 15-17
Shanghai

Shanghai is a city of two faces. It is home to some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, miles of luxury goods shops, and scores of trendy bars and restaurants. But look just beyond the main streets and you’ll find narrow alleyways packed with traditional lane houses, where laundry billows from bamboo poles, and local communities are alive and well.Shanghai has always been China’s most Westernized city. In its heyday, Shanghai had the best nightlife, the greatest architecture, and the strongest business in Asia. Shanghai’s charm lies not in a list of must-see sites, but in quiet, tree-lined streets, the Bund’s majestic colonial buildings, sweet boutiques, and a dizzying array of places to eat and drink, from literal hole-in-the-walls to celebrity chef restaurants.

Debark the ship and take your private transfer to your hotel, the Radisson Blu New World, for a 3 night stay on a room-only basis.

Days 18-19
Shanghai to UK

Take your included private transfer to the airport for your overnight flight to the UK
