The itinerary, port by port
13 calls over 20 nights, Tokyo to Singapore. Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.
Getting there: Flights to Tokyo (HND) open around December 2026, about 11 months before you sail. I track that window for booked clients and flag it the moment it is worth booking. When to book your flights →
A cruise call on Tokyo lands you on Odaiba, a reclaimed island in Tokyo Bay that is itself a waterfront entertainment and shopping district, with the Rainbow Bridge and the city skyline directly across the… Port guide →
Kochi is the historic spice port of Kerala on India's southwest coast, where Portuguese, Dutch, Arab, Chinese, and Jewish trading layers all left something standing. Port guide →

Naha is the capital of Okinawa and the heart of the old Ryukyu Kingdom, a culture that was its own seafaring nation before it was Japanese. Port guide →
Miyako is an Okinawan island ringed by white-sand beaches and the clear water locals call Miyako Blue, with no railway and a string of long bridges linking it to smaller outer islands. Port guide →
Ishigaki is the hub of the Yaeyama islands at the far southwest end of Okinawa, a subtropical island of coral reefs, white-sand beaches, and turquoise water far closer to Taiwan than to mainland Japan. Port guide →
Hong Kong delivers one of the densest skylines on the planet, a harbor crossed by century-old ferries, and a mountain peak you reach by funicular for the postcard view down over it all. Port guide →
Ha Long Bay is the reason the ship is here: a UNESCO seascape of thousands of limestone karst islets rising from the Gulf of Tonkin, riddled with caves and quiet coves. Port guide →
Da Nang is central Vietnam's coastal hub and the launch point for two of the country's most rewarding sights: the marble-and-cave hills just south of the city and the lantern-lit old port of Hoi An. Port guide →
Nha Trang is Vietnam's main beach resort city on the south-central coast, a long crescent of sand backed by a busy seafront boulevard and ringed by islands. Port guide →
Phu My is an industrial container port with nothing for visitors at the dock; it exists on cruise itineraries as the sea gateway to Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon, about 80 km inland. Port guide →
Singapore is a city-state where the cruise terminal sits at the edge of Marina Bay, so the skyline, the famous waterfront, and a fast, clean metro are all within minutes of the gangway. Port guide →
