We will be sailing on the Celebrity Solstice,which just completed a massive $50 million, bow-to-stern refurbishment.

Voyage Highlights

Mount Fuji Majesty

Wake up to striking views of Mt. Fuji from Shimizu. Explore pristine pine groves and coastal landscapes beneath Japan’s most sacred peak.

Famous Samurai Fortress

Kumamoto’s castle is rated as one of Japan’s top three castles. The peaceful Suizenji Jojuen Garden will showcase 17th century Edo-period life. The local raw volcanic landscapes will amaze you.

Cross-Cultural Discovery

Spend a vibrant day in Busan, South Korea. Visit cliffside temples, sample world-class street food, and wander through colorful mountain villages.

The Culinary Capital of Kyusku

Away from the tourist rush, Fukuoka on Hakata Bay is highly celebrated for its incredible street food and oceanside parks. Get ready for cherry blossoms, vibrant flower parks and lively outdoor dining.

Subtropical Okinawa

Discover a different side of Japan. Immerse yourself in the distinct Ryukyu heritage, crystal-clear waters, WWII remembrances and white sand beaches of Okinawa. We will remember the 83rd anniversary of the US invasion of Okinawa in WWII which was followed by 82 days of brutal combat.

Overnight in Kobe

Enjoy two full days of peak cherry blossoms, vibrant seasonal flowers and mild weather. You’ll have time to explore nearby Kyoto, Osaka and Himeji Castle at your own pace.
