Nearby, Nakamise Street is perfect for souvenir shopping and sampling traditional snacks.

For a panoramic view of the city, head to the Tokyo Skytree, one of the world's tallest towers.

Arrives: 09:00 Departs: 19:00

Nikko, nestled in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, is a place where history, culture, and natural beauty converge spectacularly. Renowned primarily for its ornate shrines and temples, including the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Toshogu Shrine, Futarasan Shrine, and Rinnoji Temple, Nikko offers a profound glimpse into Japan's rich architectural and spiritual heritage. Toshogu, the most lavishly decorated shrine, is famous for its intricate wood carvings, including the renowned "Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" monkeys.

Beyond its cultural treasures, Nikko is also celebrated for its natural scenery. The area is home to the scenic Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, one of Japan's most beautiful waterfalls, especially stunning in autumn when the foliage turns fiery red and gold.

Port:Hitachinaka

Hitachinaka, located in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, is renowned for its scenic coastal beauty and the sprawling Hitachi Seaside Park. This park is famous for its seasonal flowers, especially the baby blue eyes (Nemophila) that create a stunning blue carpet in spring and the vibrant red kochia bushes in autumn. It offers a spectacular natural display that draws visitors from around the world.

Apart from its natural allure, Hitachinaka also boasts of Nakaminato Fish Market, where visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and observe local culinary practices. The city's proximity to the coast encourages activities like cycling along the seaside paths and relaxing on the beaches. Hitachinaka blends its industrial background with considerable green spaces and oceanic influences, providing a refreshing escape with diverse attractions for all ages.

Sendai, the largest city in Japan’s Tohoku region, is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and lush green spaces. Often called the "City of Trees," Sendai offers a harmonious blend of urban and natural beauty. The city’s iconic Sendai Castle, also known as Aoba Castle, provides stunning views of the city and a glimpse into its feudal past.

The Zuihoden Mausoleum, the resting place of the powerful samurai lord Date Masamune, showcases exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance. Sendai is also famous for its Tanabata Festival, one of Japan’s most celebrated festivals, featuring colourful decorations and lively parades. With its mix of historical sites, cultural festivities, and scenic beauty, Sendai is a fascinating destination in Japan.

Miyako is also home to the Sanriku Fukko National Park, where visitors can explore the rugged landscape and observe diverse wildlife.

The city itself, often shrouded in mist, lends a mystical atmosphere to the region. Kushiro's port is vibrant, supporting the local economy with its thriving fishing industry. Culinary enthusiasts will enjoy the fresh seafood available, particularly at Washo Market, where they can sample local specialties like Kushiro ramen and grilled fish, reflecting the rich maritime culture of the area.

The onboard lifestyle with Regent Seven Seas Cruises® is centered in our continuous desire and effort to ensure each guest finds exactly what they’re searching for, from the serene comforts of your suite to a themed and lively dance party in one of our luxurious lounges.

Stroll about your vessel, where beautiful, curated works of art accentuate the understated elegance and superior craftsmanship of your new home away from home. Get to know like-minded travelers when you team up for a game of trivia at tea time. Curl up with a soft, warm blanket and a good book on your private balcony. Feel revitalized through an invigorating class in the state-of-the-art Fitness Center or relax and refresh yourself with a luxurious spa treatment.

The international date line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north to south line on the Earth. It does zigzag around political borders such as eastern Russia and Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.

Crossing the date line eastbound decreases the date by one day, while crossing the date line westbound increases the date. So when you cross east to west you always lose a day and crossing from west to east you get the same day twice (or gain a day).

On your day at sea relax and restore aching muscles, moisturize and rejuvenate your skin, and both strengthen and elevate your body and mind with Regent's holistic array of treatments and services which been thoughtfully developed to promote mental and physical rejuvenation. Indulge in massages, body wraps, facials, manicures, hair services and more, including exclusive treatments curated especially for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

Arrives: 07:00 Departs: 16:00

Located on Amaknak Island and linked via bridge to Unalaska Island, Dutch Harbor is a place of historical significance, stunning natural beauty and resilient people. While intriguing museums recall a turbulent past, today Dutch Harbor embraces the peaceful nature of its scenic surroundings and thrives as a fishing 'village' that brings in the largest catch in the country.

Dutch Harbor is the main delivery port for the crab fleet featured on the Discovery Channel's hit reality show, "The Deadliest Catch."

Arrives: 15:00 Departs: 17:00

Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, offers a captivating mix of natural beauty and urban appeal. Nestled between the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet, Anchorage provides stunning vistas and abundant wildlife. Start your day with a visit to the Anchorage Museum, which showcases Alaskan history, art, and culture. A stroll through the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail offers breathtaking views of the coastline and a chance to spot moose or even beluga whales.

For a taste of local cuisine, head to the bustling Anchorage Market & Festival, where you can sample fresh seafood and unique Alaskan treats. Don't miss the Alaska Native Heritage Center to learn about indigenous cultures through exhibits and performances. Anchorage’s vibrant downtown offers eclectic shops, cozy cafes, and opportunities to explore Alaskan craftsmanship.

Port:Seward

Seward is 120 miles (about a two hour drive) south of Anchorage, and is one of the Anchorage area's two major cruise ports. The trip south is one of the most scenic in Alaska, with the waters of Turnagain Arm on one side and the Chugach Mountains on the other.

There are many small turnouts along the way that are photo-perfect. The small community of Girdwood is a great spot to take a quick hike or a ride up the aerial tram. Seward itself is a great spot for ziplining, sled dog kennel tours, kayaking and glacier and wildlife day cruises.

Off the coast of Yakutat - 200 miles North West of Juneau - Hubbard is certainly gigantic: it's more than 9km/6mi wide where it meets the ocean. The face is over 100m/350ft tall, and icebergs 3 to 4 stories in height aren’t uncommon.

Granted, most of that ice is below water, but the ice can be so thick that cruise ships can’t get too close. In the right conditions, however, your ship might be able to get within 1km/0.5mi of the face. The strong currents and riptides that flow between Gilbert Point and the face of the glacier cause calving to occur on a daily basis, sending massive chunks of ice crashing into Disenchantment Bay.

But don't be fooled, Hubbard Glacier stands strong and is advancing so fast its earned the title "The Galloping Glacier".

Arrives: 08:00 Departs: 18:00

Icy Strait Point, near the Tlingit village of Hoonah, blends adventure with Alaska's heritage. Whale watching is unparalleled here, with frequent sightings of humpbacks and orcas. The world’s largest zip line offers breathtaking forest and ocean views. Explore restored cannery buildings housing exhibits, local crafts, and fresh seafood. Guided tours delve into Tlingit culture, highlighting storytelling and traditional dances. Nature trails reveal serene coastal beauty and diverse wildlife.

Arrives: 08:00 Departs: 16:00

Juno, commonly known as Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. Only accessible by sea or air, Juneau's history, culture, and topography have resulted in many interesting activities for visitors to enjoy, all in the heart of Alaska's majestic mountains, rivers, glaciers, and forests.

Top Things to Do in and around Juneau:

  • dog sledding
  • explore the gorgeous Mendenhall Glacier
  • whale watching
  • Alaskan Halibut fishing

Arrives: 10:00 Departs: 16:00

Ketchikan sits at the southern end of Alaska’s Inside Passage -  the canned salmon capital of the world, it’s a hub for fishing and outdoor sports. It’s also home to three tribes of Northwest Coast Indians, making it a great place to get a taste for the local culture.

Top Things to Do in Ketchikan:

  • visit Totem Bight State Park
  • venture past the town limits into Tongass National Forest
  • visit Ketchikan's own Saxman Native Village
  • a myriad of outdoor adventures from fishing to zip-lining!

Alaska's Inside Passage offers breathtaking views of glaciers, fjords, and abundant wildlife , making it one of the most scenic cruises in the world and one of the few locations where deep-draft ships can sail close to steep mountain walls. Stretching from Puget Sound in Washington to the Alaskan Panhandle, this coastal route provides stunning natural scenery. Expect to see orcas, humpback whales, and sea lions from the deck, while eagles soar overhead.

Massive tidewater glaciers, forest-clad islands, ice-carved fjords, and charming coastal towns such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Haines and Skagway await you here. On small ship cruises, you’ll visit even more intimate ports of call. Glacier Bay National Park and Hubbard Glacier are highlights.

Arrives: 07:00 Departs: 17:00

Vancouver is the ideal home port to begin or end an Alaskan adventure. Blessed with stunning vistas and exciting activities, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of urban and natural experiences. Vancouver is a must for any cruise itinerary, and because it's a compact, walkable city right on the edge of nature, adding on just a couple of extra days to explore will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so attractive to visitors.

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s waterfront, 'Canada Place' (cruise terminal) can service up to three luxury cruise ships at any given time.
