Overview

Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 19:00

Tokyo, Japan's bustling capital, offers an eclectic mix of tradition and modernity. Begin your adventure with a visit to the Asakusa district, home to the ancient Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo's oldest and most significant temple. 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. Shibuya Crossing, one of the busiest pedestrian intersections, is a must-see for its sheer scale and energy. To experience tranquility, visit the serene Meiji Shrine, nestled in a lush forest in Shibuya. Don't miss trying Tokyo's renowned sushi at Tsukiji Outer Market or exploring the vibrant Harajuku district for trendy fashion and unique cafes.

Port:Yokohama

Yokohama Port serves as a gateway for travelers heading to Tokyo, located approximately 30 kms (about 19 miles) north of the port. The journey to Tokyo can take around 30 to 45 minutes by train. The Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal is the main docking site for cruise ships. The most efficient way to travel is by train, with the Minatomirai Line directly connecting Yokohama to Shibuya, a major hub in Tokyo. This allows visitors to easily access famous sights such as the Shibuya Crossing, Meiji Shrine, and the vibrant district of Shinjuku. Given the limited time typical of cruise stopovers, planning ahead to prioritize which attractions to visit is advisable.

Arrives: 08:00 Departs: 20:00

Mount Fuji, Japan's most sacred volcano, stands at 12,388 feet and offers a mesmerizing landscape. Recognized by UNESCO as a "place and source of artistic inspiration," this snow-capped peak is a must-visit. Start with a trip to the Fuji Five Lakes region for breathtaking views and outdoor activities like hiking and boating.

Explore the cultural and spiritual side of the region at the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. Nearby, Oshino Hakkai, a traditional village with clear spring ponds and thatched-roof houses, offers a glimpse into Japan's past. For a picture-perfect view of Mount Fuji, visit the Chureito Pagoda, especially stunning in spring with cherry blossoms.

Port:Shimizu

This port city is not just a gateway to Japan's iconic volcano but a treasure trove of experiences, from the bustling fish market of Shimizu to tranquil walks through lush green tea plantations. The allure of Shimizu lies in its ability to offer moments of Zen amidst the vibrancy of city life, inviting travelers to discover its rich culinary heritage, including the freshest sushi and sashimi, sourced directly from Suruga Bay. Cruise ships anchor at Shimizu Port, conveniently located approximately 10 kilometres (about 6.2 miles) from the heart of Shizuoka City.

Arrives: 07:00 Departs: 21:00

Kyoto, Japan's former imperial capital, is renowned for its classical temples, traditional wooden houses, and beautiful gardens. Begin your exploration at Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of red torii gates. Next, head to Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, a stunning Zen temple whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf.

For a taste of traditional culture, visit the Gion district, where you might glimpse geishas in their exquisite kimonos. Don’t forget to indulge in Kyoto’s renowned cuisine, including matcha-flavored treats and kaiseki, a multi-course dining experience.

Port:Osaka

Osaka's Tempozan Cruise Terminal is located about 15 km (9 miles) from Osaka city center, a 30-minute drive. Kyoto is roughly 60 km (37 miles) away.

If you're planning on exploring Osaka begin your visit with the iconic Osaka Castle, surrounded by lush gardens perfect for a leisurely stroll. Nearby, the Umeda Sky Building provides stunning panoramic views from its Floating Garden Observatory. For a taste of local cuisine, head to Dotonbori, a lively district renowned for its street food, neon lights, and the famous Glico running man sign. Don't miss Kuromon Ichiba Market, where you can sample fresh seafood and other local delicacies. Cap off your day with a visit to the tranquil Shitenno-ji Temple, one of Japan's oldest Buddhist temples, offering a serene escape in the heart of the city.

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).

Arrives: 07:00

Los Angeles, a sprawling Southern California city, is famed not only for its influence on the entertainment industry but also for its diverse cultural offerings and sunny coastline. Highlights include the Getty Center, where art and stunning architecture meet in an expansive hilltop setting, and the historic Griffith Observatory, which offers panoramic views of the city and beyond.

For those disembarking mid-morning, a stroll through the vibrant streets of Santa Monica or a visit to the eclectic Venice Beach Boardwalk provides a perfect slice of local life. Both are excellent spots to enjoy the quintessential SoCal sun, sand, and surf, complete with shops, street performers, and seaside eateries.

The Break Away 0 , NSW, Australia, Nov 2024
It was a great short break - everything was perfect from the booking in and cabin staff to the neverending quality food and wait service. I could not fault any of the staff involved that made our lives easy and restful. Disembarking was a breeze following the instructions and procedures. Will book again definitely.
Great cruise 2 , Australia, Jan 2024
This was a great cruise from start to finish. The booking process was easy. The port stops were great. The ship had a lot to do on board. The food was pretty good. Just the coffee on board could have been better.
First time cruise exceed expectations 3 , New Zealand, Jul 2023
This was my first cruise and it exceed my expectations. The facilities were top tier! I really enjoyed coming back to my stateroom which was great even without a balcony after a long day to relax. Royal Caribbean really know how to wow their consumers! Although I really enjoyed the cruise I most likely won’t go on a cruise peak season again as it felt ...read more really overwhelming with so many people and the weather was really hot. In saying this, I would definitely go on another cruise and would definitely book through Global Journeys. Tracey made my experience very easy and answered all my questions timely. The whole process was great!
Beautiful New Zealand Cruise   4 , NSW, Australia, Apr 2023
Lovely cruise on Ovation of the Seas. The ship was very impressive. Especially suited for families with teenage children and young adults with lots of activities on board. Perhaps not so much for the older age group. New Zealand has some stunning scenery although I was on the last cruise for the season and we missed two ports because of inclement weather. ...read more Thanks to Georgie from Global Journeys for always handling my bookings so efficiently, everything went very smoothly.
Thanks 7 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2023
We had a great time on our Royal Caribbean holiday. We booked it all through Georgie who was very helpful and would highly recommend her.
Weekend getaway from Sydney 4 , NSW, Australia, Jan 2023
With Christmas such a busy and hectic time, we took the opportunity to book a weekend getaway cruise on Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas. Only being a 2 night cruise, we splurged out on a 1 bedroom Grand Suite, and it didn’t disappoint. Essentially a double size cabin, bedroom in one side and lounge in the other with access to a fully tiled bathroom ...read more from each room. Other perks of the Grand Suite was access to the Coastal Kitchen restaurant. Whilst the quality and quantity of the food on Royal Caribbean in general is better than other lines we have cruised with, the Coastal Kitchen really is that extra step up. Top quality food, impeccable service and a more intimate environment for dinner was a good way to cap off the day.

Suite class also has 24 hr access to the Concierge Club lounge, with complimentary coffee all day, afternoon hors d'oeuvres and open bar from 5pm - 8pm. Add to that a private sundeck and you have several options to get away from the 4,500 plus passengers on board. (if that’s what you want). Suites are not cheap, and up to the individual to determine if it is worth it for them, but we enjoyed our short stay at that level. We have also found that Royal Caribbean’s boarding process, in Sydney at least, is second to none. With so much being able to be done online prior to boarding, you virtually just walk on, via security of course and ID checks. We’ll cruise with Royal Caribbean and book via Global Journeys again.
