16 Nights | March 2028 | Cruise & Tour Holiday
This is a fantastic shorter itinerary combining Japan’s iconic highlights during cherry blossom season with a relaxing all-inclusive cruise.
You’ll begin with time in Tokyo, giving you the chance to experience the city during Sakura season, when cherry blossom transforms parks and streets into a sea of pink. A highlight of the trip is a fully guided tour of Mount Fuji, including scenic viewpoints and the volcanic landscapes of Owakudani Valley.
Your holiday then continues onboard Celebrity Cruises Solstice, where you’ll enjoy a 12 night all-inclusive cruise sailing around Japan and beyond, visiting destinations including Kobe, Osaka, Okinawa and Jeju.
This is a great option if you’re looking for a shorter but well-balanced trip combining Japan’s must-see sights with a cruise.
