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.

Japan Cruise Itineraries

Cruises to Japan embark in Tokyo and Singapore and last for 12 or 13 nights. Sail to some of northeast Asia’s most celebrated cities and explore the country’s dazzling natural beauty. From mountains to beaches, exciting markets and fascinating museums, Celebrity brings you the best of Japan in these exciting itineraries.

7 amazing cruise itineraries to book in 2024

I don't know about you, but each year, as the weather turns cold, I start daydreaming about getting out of Dodge — or, in my case, Pennsylvania. My mind wanders to cruises that will take me to places where the temperature is warmer, but I also take a hard look at the (exceptionally lengthy) list of places I'm longing to visit.

After digging through what's new for 2024, I've come up with a shortlist of sailings that I think are noteworthy. They range from a standard Bahamas voyage with a new twist and an extended Alaska sailing that includes a foray across the Arctic Circle to more far-flung destinations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Dream on, dear reader, and add these to your list of 2024 cruise itineraries.

Note: All prices listed are per person, based on double occupancy, unless otherwise noted. Fares do not include taxes and fees.

Seabourn's 'Kimberley Expedition: Waterfalls and Wandjinas' itinerary

Last year, the Australia and New Zealand cruise region gained momentum following the pandemic shutdown. In 2024, the hardly populated Australia region of The Kimberley is gaining popularity. Luxury cruise brand Seabourn will be offering a series of six 10-night voyages between Broome and Darwin on expedition vessel Seabourn Pursuit during what will be early winter in the southern hemisphere.

The line's " Kimberley Expedition: Waterfalls and Wandjinas " will take passengers to places along the coast few passengers are able to visit to see the stunning teal waters and horizontal waterfalls of Talbot Bay, sample wines in the Hunter River Region and check out nature preserves in Wyndham.

Details: The first sailing, from Darwin to Broome, embarks on June 12. The final voyage, from Broome to Darwin, departs on Aug. 1. Prices start from $6,134 per person ($613 per person, per night), double occupancy, for the July 2 cruise. All accommodations are suites with balconies.

Celebrity's 'Best of Japan' and 'Vietnam and Thailand' cruises

The number of voyages in Asia was trending upward notably prior to 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought cruising in the region to an extended halt. And it's once again on the rise. Following that curve, Celebrity Cruises will be running new 11- to 13-night Asia sailings in 2024 on two ships — Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Solstice — that bring stops in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand.

What's notable about the offerings is that they will aim to immerse passengers further into the destinations by including overnights in a total of 11 ports across all itineraries. That means more time to explore Hanoi's Old Quarter as the sun sets, indulge in nighttime gastronomy in Hong Kong, visit one of Bangkok's many markets, or learn why Osaka is known for street food.

Details: Celebrity Millennium's " Best of Japan " cruises run from early mid-March to early October. At press time, the least expensive fares — for a 12-night sailing — start from $1,330 per person ($111 per person, per night) for an inside cabin. It travels round-trip from Yokohama and visits Hiroshima, Pusan and other ports, including Osaka, where the ship will overnight.

Celerbrity Solstice's Vietnam and Thailand cruises kick off in mid-January and run through March. The ship will resume them again in the fall of 2024 and run through the winter season. Prices start from $1,255 per person ($105 per person, per night) for an inside cabin. The voyage sails from Hong Kong to Singapore with stops in Da Nang and Koh Samui, plus overnights in Hanoi and Bangkok.

SeaDream's 'Yachting the Adriatic & Greek Isles' sailing

Here's one to put on your radar if you're looking to book — but not necessarily sail — in 2024. It's a new Mediterranean itinerary that doesn't start up for nearly three more years, in 2026. The SeaDream routing brings stops at seven ports that are rarely visited by cruise passengers. During the seven-night voyages, there will be calls at Primosten, Croatia; Cesme, Turkey; Cetubal, Portugal; and Kythira, Kythnos, Syvota and Tinos, Greece — making these sailings unique and well-suited to anyone who loves the region but who's looking for new places to experience.

SeaDream's small ships, each of which carries just 112 people, are able to reach locales about which passengers on megaships can only fantasize. Couple that with excellent service, and you'll be visiting the Our Lady of Loretto statue in Primosten, touring the Cesme Castle and lounging on stunning Greek beaches from a home base that puts you squarely in the lap of luxury.

Details: An itinerary that includes three of the seven new ports is the 11-night " Yachting the Adriatic & Greek Isles " itinerary from Venice, Italy, to Athens, Greece, departing on Aug. 8, 2026, on SeaDream I. Prices start from $10,399 per person ($946 per person, per night) for a room with a porthole view.

Holland America's 'Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice' Legendary Voyage

Alaska is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys the vastness of untouched wilderness, the wildlife it houses and adventurous pursuits it provides. (Think whale-watching, hiking on glaciers and salmon fishing.) However, Holland America 's Westerdam is hosting a 28-day sailing that's anything but your standard cruise to the Last Frontier .

Passengers will visit the usual Alaska ports, such as Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau, with scenic sailing through the Inside Passage, past Hubbard Glacier and to Glacier Bay. But they can also expect less-common stops at places like Nome, Kodiak, Anchorage (with an overnight) and Homer. Plus, about halfway through, this cruise crosses the Arctic Circle — a rite of passage for many travelers.

Details: Holland America's 28-day " Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice " cruise — one of the line's Legendary Voyages, known for longer durations and a unique mix of port calls — sails June 9-July 7, round-trip from Seattle. Inside cabins start from $5,299 per person (about $189 per person, per night).

Silversea's summertime French Polynesia cruises

Another consideration for future travel is Silversea Cruises , which is featuring its first full-summer season in French Polynesia in 2026. Silver Whisper will offer two immersive itineraries, including overnights, across 17 voyages between April and September.

Passengers can choose seven-night sailings that visit idyllic favorites like Tahiti, Moorea and Huahine and which also include overnights in Bora Bora. Or, they can cruise for twice as long by selecting a 14-night voyage that calls on the same ports as the seven-night option but with Fakarava, Nuku Hiva, Fatu Hiva, Atuona and Tahuata added.

Details: Silversea's seven-night voyages begin April 6, 2026, and start from $5,650 per person ($808 per person, per night) for an ocean-view cabin.

The line's 14-night sailings start on April 20, 2026. Fares start from $10,450 per person ($747 per person, per night) for ocean-view accommodations.

New Bermuda voyages on Carnival Venezia

Beginning in May of 2025, Carnival Cruise Line 's Carnival Venezia will sail a series of eight four- and five-night cruises to Bermuda from New York. These itineraries are notable because the line is aiming to increase its presence there but also because the style of the ship is new to even most of the brand's most dedicated passengers.

In 2022, Carnival announced its Costa by Carnival concept after revealing it would be transferring ships from its Costa sister brand to the Carnival fleet. Now, when travelers visit the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse or check out the island's renowned pink-sand beaches during a sailing on Carnival Venezia, they can enjoy both the Italian style of the ship and Carnival's fun atmosphere and high service standards.

Details: Voyages kick off on May 22, 2025. Prices start from $429 per person ($108 per person, per night) for an inside cabin on a four-night cruise departing Sept. 18, 2025.

Disney Cruise Line's Lighthouse Point itineraries

Disney Cruise Line 's new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point , a private destination on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, is set to open in June with a three-night preview sailing on June 6 aboard Disney Magic. Following the initial voyage, the line will run regular three- to seven-night voyages to Lighthouse Point on Disney Magic, Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream.

The island will feature a dedicated family beach and water play area, an arts and culture pavilion focused on Bahamian culture, 20 family cabanas, an adults-only beach and a selection of shore excursion options.

Details: Prices for itineraries that include Lighthouse Point start from $624 per person ($208 per person, per night) for a three-night cruise on Disney Magic. The cruise departs Nov. 5 and sails from Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Japan & Bering Sea TPAC - experiences with it?

By kochleffel , December 26, 2019 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about booking a Japan and Bering Sea transpacific eastbound itinerary, from Yokohama, for 2022. I checked for posts but those that came up seemed all to be about the westbound itinerary (from Vancouver). Some were also light on the shipboard experience, other than eating and drinking, and so I have various questions.

• If you've taken this itinerary eastbound, what was it like?
• What are the sea-day activities (in either direction) like, since there are 9 sea days, 6 of them in a row?
• The cruise is at the end of May; will the weather be mostly cold and wet? This would influence whether to book an OV or a veranda stateroom.
• What's the port call at Petropavlovsk like, and what tour did you take? (Some of the posts don't mention Petropavlovsk at all - maybe it wasn't in those itineraries?)
• What is embarkation from Yokohama like?

Also a couple of questions not specific to the itinerary:

• If I book an oceanview cabin, it may be forward facing. What is that like on the Solstice or any similar ship?
• I usually travel alone. What are Celebrity cruises like for solo passengers?
• I've been on cruises that had private dining rooms and lounges for suite passengers, but I'm not familiar with the different classes of service that Celebrity has. There is no chance that I would book in the Aqua class, so does this make any difference to me?

I'll be grateful for any and all information.

Thank you. I had seen that thread, but was using a screen on which I couldn't read the daily pages. Now I'm at a larger monitor and will read more carefully.

     We did the Eastbound TP from Yokohama in 2018 and really loved it.  I don't remember any issues or problems embarking in Japan. We were too late for cherry blossoms in Tokyo but saw beautiful blossoms on later port stops.  Petropovlovsk is one of my favorite ports.  Absolutely beautiful, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.  We used www.kamchatintour.ru and had a fantastic time.  There were six of us from cruise critic that were on it and I'm so glad we did it.  It was a tour of the town and museum, church, then out to dog sled breeding farm via a snowmobile.  Really fun and gorgeous scenery!  There  was no Visa needed for Petropovlovsk. 

     The weather in Japan was pleasant and warm but we did have some rain, Petropovlovsk was bright and sunny and we were fine with layers, waterproof hikers, scarf and gloves. The TP part back to Vancouver was pretty cold at times.  We had a balcony but didn't use it much for that part of the trip.  I did actually enjoy seeing the loungers around the pool covered with snow and watching a snowball fight between an officer and some passengers in the hot tub.  One of my favorite cruise pics is of a snowman someone had built of the ledge of the hot tub. 

     I did the guest choir and some trivia here and there but mostly just read and napped.  Gotta love those sea days.

We've always enjoyed the MDR, choosing a set dining time and sharing a table.  Have met and continue to keep in touch with many new friends. 

     Sorry, I can't offer any information on solo cruises or forward ocean views on S class ships. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

In May 2017, we did only half of a transpacific cruise from Hawaii to Vancouver, in a verandah cabin on Solstice. 

Around Hawaii Islands, weather was nice and we really enjoyed our verandah. However, we were not so fortunate for the five day crossing: weather was wet and cold, (blankets were provided to passengers to cover themselves while sitting down to watch glass blowing show and few passengers dared to attend). Furthermore, for the most part of these five days, in addition to the rain and cold, windy conditions prevailed resulting in 10 to 15 foot waves..  So, on that cruise, during the crossing, most people stayed inside.

Weather is hard to predict, months ahead of time. Other people likely experienced calm seas on this itinerary. Just sharing, as requested, what has been our experience. We did enjoy the cruise, regardless of the weather.

Thank you again. I read them all and it helped. I was pleased to see the variety of sea-day activities, especially so because my next cruise is on Holland America and I've read a lot of complaints about the paucity and monotony of onboard activities there even on cruises with lots of sea days.

Thanks! I was on a cruise this summer to St. Petersburg and the situation is the same there: no visa needed if you have signed up in advance with a tour agency and are returning to the ship each night.

18 hours ago, mjscruffy said: We've always enjoyed the MDR, choosing a set dining time and sharing a table.

On the St. Petersburg cruise, I had requested fixed seating and hoped to share a table, but because of a group requiring a separate section in the MDR, many bookings were changed from fixed to open. It worked out OK for me.

18 hours ago, mjscruffy said: Sorry, I can't offer any information on solo cruises or forward ocean views on S class ships. 

That's OK. I'm not looking for the extra services that NCL provides for solo passengers although I've liked them in the past. I just want to make sure that being on one's own is not a problem for Celebrity as it is on a certain other cruise line (if that cruise line even accepts a solo booking, which sometimes it won't). I will probably post separately about forward-facing oceanview rooms since many ships have some and it is not specific to Celebrity.

My partner and I have sailed HAL twice, and we always found stuff to do on sea days. Also, their entertainment outside of the main theatre is pretty good and varied. We had a great time.   

With regards Japan in May it will be quite warm to hot, a good time to go since the summer months are scorching. Japan can be rainy anytime, you just have to be prepared. Just about every convenience store sells cheap umbrellas for those who get caught out!

It’s a beautiful country, one I love to visit (I’m something of a Japanophile), I’m sure you’d love it.

Northern Aurora

In 2018 we boarded the Millennium in Vancouver for a B2B pair of cruises which included the trans-Pacific and the following Japan explorer cruise.  After leaving the ship in Yokohama we spent five days in Tokyo.  So we also did the reverse of what our OP is considering.  However, we enjoyed that trip so much that we have booked another Japan explorer cruise followed by the TP from Yokohama to Vancouver in April 2021.

In terms of the activities on sea days, even though that trans-Pacific was just in 2018 I don't remember if there was a guest speaker.  But there was certainly the usual trivia, music entertainers and so forth.  Jim_Iain was also on that crossing (and the following cruise too), and Jim did a blog.  Jim often includes scans of the Celebrity Today in his blogs so find his blog for the details.

We have done three of the southern trans-Pacific (ie, the ones which cross through French Polynesia).  The 2018 crossing was the first northern route for us.  Our southern crossings have been extremely smooth in most cases.  I wouldn't describe the northern crossing as particularly rough, but we did hit the remnants of a typhoon so had some motion for a period of time.  The remnants of that typhoon were somewhat of a portent of what was to come as later we were impacted not only by Typhoon Trami but also Typhoon Kong-Rei.  And the crossing was so far north that we cruised through the Aleutian Islands including close sailings by both Unalaska and Amaknak Islands.

The Yokohama cruise terminal is quite spacious with signage in both Japanese and English.  When we left the ship in Yokohama we had no problems finding our private driver to take us to our Tokyo hotel.  There is a parking structure below the cruise terminal, but also a line of taxis out the front entrance.

Traveling Mike

I like the Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific cruises because of all the sea days.  Part of how much there is to do is how active your Cruise Critic board is.  I just did the September Trans-Pacific Cruise on the Celebrity Millennium and loved it.  The sea days were great and I was almost to busy.  We had all the ship things; trivia twice a day (music and progressive), lectures and shows in the evening.  Our Cruise Critic Group was very active and had cards every day, Slot Pulls, cabin tour and poker pub crawls.  You can see the spreadsheet we used for organization at  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BMj9PtyTs6zqG9BYT-eK2XzGfh2DwRAufVI4_tkeAaI/edit?usp=sharing

Hope this helps,

We were too late for cherry blossoms in Tokyo but saw beautiful blossoms on later port stops.  Petropovlovsk is one of my favorite ports.  Absolutely beautiful, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.  We used www.kamchatintour.ru and had a fantastic time.  There were six of us from cruise critic that were on it and I'm so glad we did it.  It was a tour of the town and museum, church, then out to dog sled breeding farm via a snowmobile.  Really fun and gorgeous scenery!  There  was no Visa needed for Petropovlovsk.       The weather in Japan was pleasant and warm but we did have some rain, Petropovlovsk was bright and sunny and we were fine with layers, waterproof hikers, scarf and gloves. The TP part back to Vancouver was pretty cold at times.  We had a balcony but didn't use it much for that part of the trip.  I did actually enjoy seeing the loungers around the pool covered with snow and watching a snowball fight between an officer and some passengers in the hot tub.  One of my favorite cruise pics is of a snowman someone had built of the ledge of the hot tub.       I did the guest choir and some trivia here and there but mostly just read and napped.  Gotta love those sea days. We've always enjoyed the MDR, choosing a set dining time and sharing a table.  Have met and continue to keep in touch with many new friends.       Sorry, I can't offer any information on solo cruises or forward ocean views on S class ships.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.          '

I was on the same cruise.

I think future cruises have less Japanese ports in the itinerary which is a pity - JMO.

Petropovlovsk was cold - river still frozen in the town centre and it was May! I do cold btw - I am Scots.There were tendering issues and not all the passengers made it ashore. That port is once and done.

The activity team and the CD did themselves proud with a very crammed schedule.

I travel solo and if there were solo activities, I don't recall them.  That said, it was no hardship and I and a few others formed  a very fun international group at the Martini Bar.  Great time was had and we are all still in touch. We formed our alternative choir.

A lady organised a table for solos through the roll call - I would not do that again. However that is possibly one route if you wish dining companions.

I thoroughly enjoyed my cruise which was greatly enhanced by the 'Martini Clubbers' and the 10 days land trip I spent crossing Japan prior to the cruise.  I plan to repeat the land portion next year but will not repeat the cruise - frankly there are too few Japanese ports.

This can be a source of confusion on roll calls for cruises that stop in Petropavlovsk. The visa situation is NOT the same as in St. Petersburg. No visa needed in Petropavlovsk, whether the passenger takes a tour or travels independently. Russia applies different requirements for St. P. and Petropavlosk, perhaps due to the latter's isolation.

Correct.  I did intend to post that info too but forgot.  I was an independent traveller and no visa was required.

Well, I've finally booked this cruise. I hesitated a lot. Three things got me to book: only one stateroom remaining of the type I wanted, lower fare, and a refundable deposit.

We enjoyed the cruise and LOVED seeing the Cherry Blossoms.  The weather was absolutely perfect in Japan and chilly in Russia.  It snowed during the crossing and I had fun building a little snowman on our balcony table, LOL!  Then we experienced nice weather in the Honolulu.  

Great photos! Thank you.

Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing.  I love the little snowman on your balcony table.

On 12/26/2019 at 12:56 PM, kochleffel said: If you've taken this itinerary eastbound, what was it like We were on the Millenium from Yokohama to Vancouver in Apr/May 2018.  We really enjoyed this cruise since we like sea days.  Made friends on the cruise with a couple from Montreal.  Made plans and cruised with them again last year on a different itinerary. What are the sea-day activities (in either direction) like, since there are 9 sea days, 6 of them in a row? There is a lot to do on sea days, in fact too much to do, always busy.  We enjoyed trivia, guest lecturers, and movies in the theater most of all. The cruise is at the end of May; will the weather be mostly cold and wet? This would influence whether to book an OV or a veranda stateroom. Please understand we are from Southern California and we didn't dress warm enough.  We were always cold whether in Japan, Russia or at sea.  Inside the ship was nice and warm.  It snowed two nights on sea days (as the pictures above show).  We were in a Sky Suite so we had a veranda but never used it. What's the port call at Petropavlovsk like, and what tour did you take? (Some of the posts don't mention Petropavlovsk at all - maybe it wasn't in those itineraries?) Ptown had 3 feet of snow on the ground.  We did not have proper clothes and just stayed aboard that day.  Had a jacuzzi all to ourselves in the Solarium, sat in the warm water and looked out on the snow covered peaks.  Ptown is in a beautiful setting, just stunning.  However, realize that Ptown is the home base of the Russian nuclear submarine fleet.  Security is very tight.  No, you don't need a visa but there were Russian officials aboard who gave everyone going ashore a thorough check and lots of paperwork.  There was a looooooooong line to go through Russian immigration on the ship.  Ptown is a tendered port so after immigration you get on a shore boat for a choppy ride into the dock.  We had friends who went ashore and they said they were disappointed, not worth the time and hassle.  We are glad we stayed aboard. What is embarkation from Yokohama like? Yokohama is a typical embarkation venue.  Nothing particularly good or bad about it.  Since we were booked into a suite, we got priority boarding.  It was quick and easy.

A couple of other things about the eastbound Transpacific.  You lose an hour each day on sea days.  We were burning the candle at both ends, so constantly exhausted.  BUT we enjoyed the cruise so much we booked again for September 2021.  This time it will be westbound so we  gain  an hour each sea day.  More to our liking.

On the leg between Ptown and Vancouver, the sea was very rough on our planned routing so they diverted to the south for calmer seas.  This resulted in eliminating one stop at Dutch Harbor in Alaska.  However, they added an unplanned cruise through the Inland Passage from Alaska down to Vancouver to make up for it.  This turned out to be the highlight of our cruise in terms of scenery.  And actually we did use our balcony for this leg, Orcas and dolphins in the water right below us.  Close enough to cottages on the shore we could exchange greetings!  We lucked out!

All Celebrity ships have private dining rooms for Aqua called BLU and suites called Luminae.  We have eaten in both.  Although the food is really good in the MDR, in our opinion the food in BLU and Luminae is superior.  If you budget allows, we recommend either Aqua class or a suite, in our opinion, well worth the extra cost.

We have considered this cruise (east bound), but decided that the cold weather that far north was not as appealing.

We did do a wonderful TP from Sydney to Seattle on Royal C. in 2018.

SHIP TRAVELER

I have taken this cruise on the Millie prior to revolution.  I just wanted to add a few comments to the wealth of info already shared here.  We like the M class but be aware that regular balconies are smaller than Aqua and Conj balconies by a bit.

It might be worthwhile to look for bargains on C class which can be a much better price than Aqua.  There are a few extra perks with the C class.

That said we sailed in a cat 4 OV at the front which it looks like you are considering.  This was a very big cabin far forward.  There was a large window that lined up with the seating area so that you could watch the ocean.  Avoid the cat 4 cabins on the 6th floor because of noise from the theater during practices and shows.  The front view Cat 4 look out over the front and our cabin on 9th floor looked out to the side.  The square feet usually in the balcony was inside the room.  You can look at the M class "sticky" at the top of this board to get cabin reviews by number.  We were also able to find photos on line of the various cat 4 cabins which are similar on all M class ships. Since this is a colder weather cruise we did not miss having a balcony at all. 

In Russia, we explored on our own.  It was a Sunday Mothers Day in Russia.  Weather was unseasonably good and all the local families were out at the rocky beach.  We like to DIY walked forever  to a  plan posted in the port board on CC.  We stopped at a local basement bar for beers setting at the bar.  Since it was early in the day, it was just us and the young bartender and he wanted to practice his English so we had a good cross cultural exchange about living in Russia and in the USA. It was a high light of this stop  There was a long tender line to go back to the ship but we were among the last to leave.  As to other island stops in Japan, we used "free walking tours by locals" in Murano and totally enjoyed her tour with lunch in addition to a later bus on our own to the star fort.

I totally agree with the poster that said the time changes were tough.  We did the progressive golf putting competition  every sea day which kicked off about 10:00-11:00 AM and we struggled to get a cup of coffee and make it to the event. No golf experience required for this activity and a great way to meet people.   At home we are always up 6:30ish so we are not usually late sleepers but on this cruise we could not seem to get to sleep until late and missed many morning activities.  There was a very well attended Water Color class that was a big hit with both men and women. There was usually a afternoon shows in the in the theater by cast members or "fly in" entertainers that were an encore to their main shows.  There were lectures but mostly in the mornings so we only made a few of them.  Look for fun promotions (free slot play etc.) each evening after the show in the non-smoking casino in the daily planner.

I think that the cruise critic roll call is one of the best ways to get together with other singles and couples that are not traveling with groups.  People seem to want to mix more on the long cruises and we have enjoyed meeting many single travelers on our long crossing cruises.

I'm booked on the TP from Yokohama to Vancouver in 4/21 on the Eclipse.  I really hope we go...I love sea days and this trip sounds amazing.

 I've done this trip in both directions. It is "amazing" as long as you like the sea days and are not planning to lie around the pool basking in the sun. You should look into this itinerary for next April.

Yep, I am booked on it for April next year.  I love cooler weather and while this will be only my second cruise, on my first I could have done without any port days and just floated in the Pacific for days on end.  It was the first time in my life where I could actually feel the stress washing away as we sailed.  I was hooked.  I can't wait!

Bruin Steve

We are booked on the Millennium TransPacific April 25, 2021...as part of a back-to-back with the April 11 Japan cruise--so, it's 29 nights at sea...and, yes, the last week or so are consecutive at sea days...

But we are really looking forward to those as the first 14 night cruise is VERY port intensive (just 3 sea days on a 14 night cruise) and we assume we'll be spending long days touring in Japan...so, that last week will be "rest and recuperation" time...

We booked a nice 1A balcony with an oversized balcony and got the same cabin for both legs...If the weather's nice, we'll use it more...but, we're okay either way...We figure we'll find enough to do on those sea days...and, besides, we have the drinks package!!

We originally just booked the Japan cruise, then thought, hey, we've got the time, so why hurry back with a long flight home...better to take that extra 15 nights and cruise home...The cost of the TransPacific leg was really sort of inexpensive...and we save the cost of the flight home (We'll rent a car in Vancouver and drive down to Portland to visit our daughters, then maybe a quick flight home to SoCal,,,

Stock market today: Asian benchmarks mostly slide as investors focus on earnings

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares mostly declined Thursday as investors awaited a flood of global earnings reports, including updates from U.S. tech companies known as the “Magnificent Seven.”

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 slid 1.4% in morning trading to 37,931.81. South Korea’s Kospi dropped nearly 1.0% to 2,649.96. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.5% to 17,282.67, while the Shanghai Composite edged 0.2% higher, to 3,049.90.

Trading was closed in Australia for a national holiday, Anzac Day.

Attention is also turning to the Bank of Japan, whose two-day monetary policy meeting started Thursday.

“For the record, heading into tomorrow’s policy decision, exceptional Japanese yen weakness is the agitated elephant in the room for the BoJ,” Tan Jing Yi of Mizuho Bank said in a commentary.

In currency trading, the U.S. dollar rose to 155.46 Japanese yen from 155.31 yen. The euro cost $1.0707, up from $1.0697.

The yen has been trading at 155 yen-levels lately, its lowest level in 34 years. That helps Japanese exporters by raising the value of their overseas earnings, but it also raises the price of imports. Speculation has been growing Japan may intervene to prop up the yen.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 was virtually flat and edged up by 1.08, or less than 0.1%, to 5,071.63. It had jumped sharply in the first two days of the week to claw back nearly two-thirds of last week’s steep loss .

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 42.77, or 0.1%, to 38,460.92, and the Nasdaq composite added 16.11, or 0.1%, to 15,712.75.

Tesla jumped 12.1% after saying the night before that it would accelerate production of new, more affordable vehicles , which investors have been hoping will kickstart growth. The announcement helped investors look past the 55% drop in profit that Tesla reported.

Tesla is the first of the group of stocks among the Magnificent Seven to report its results for the start of 2024. The focus is on the small group of stocks because they drove most of the U.S. stock market’s gain last year, and they’ll need to perform to justify their high prices.

Meta Platforms also reported its latest results after trading ended Wednesday. Alphabet and Microsoft will follow it a day later.

The hope is that profit growth will broaden beyond the Magnificent Seven to other types of companies, in large part because a remarkably solid U.S. economy. They’ll likely need to deliver fatter profits if they want their stock prices to rise. That’s because they’re unlikely to get much help from the other lever that can lift stock prices: interest rates.

“A strong earnings season looks likely to help restore market confidence,” according to Solita Marcelli, chief investment officer Americas at UBS Global Wealth Management.

A report Wednesday said orders for machinery, airplanes and other long-lasting manufactured goods were stronger last month than expected. A recent string of such reports has quashed hopes that the Federal Reserve may deliver the three cuts to interest rates this year that it had earlier signaled.

Boeing lost 2.9% despite reporting results that weren’t as bad as analysts feared . The company, which is battling criticism about the safety of its airplanes, said it’s taking steps to improve its manufacturing quality, which has slowed down production.

Teledyne Technologies tumbled 10.9% for one of the market’s largest losses after the seller of digital imaging sensors, cameras and other equipment reported weaker profit and revenue than forecast. It said demand from the industrial automation and test and measurement markets was weaker than it expected.

On the winning side of the market, Hasbro jumped 11.9% after the toy and game company reported better profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It benefited from growth delivered by its Baldur Gate 3 and Magic: The Gathering games, as well as by its Peppa Pig content.

Texas Instruments climbed 5.6% after reporting stronger profit and revenue for the latest quarter than forecast. Boston Scientific was another one of the stronger forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. It rose 5.7% after topping forecasts for profit and revenue.

In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude declined 15 cents to $82.66 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 14 cents to $87.88 a barrel.
