Set sail on a journey tracing the length of Japan from the atomic legacy of Hiroshima to the wild frontiers of Hokkaido - an ultimate exploration of the maritime crossroads where ancient history, artistic heritage, and dynamic modern culture converge across Japan and South Korea. This deep-dive into regional contrasts navigates the dramatic Kanmon Strait and traces a route through culturally rich ports and islands accessible only by sea, culminating in the scenic shores of Hokkaido.

Your journey begins on Japan's western coast in the samurai heartland of Hagi and the artistic Noto port of Wajima, famed for its thousand-year-old lacquerware. Sail to the historic, resilient cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Cross the sea to Busan, South Korea's vibrant coastal hub, then explore the volcanic south in Kagoshima before heading north to Hakodate and the charming gateway of Otaru. Along the way, discover cultural enclaves like Sado Island (Ogi) and mainland ports including Uwajima, Sakaiminato, Maizuru, and Sakata.

Engage in onboard lectures on East Asian history and artistic traditions, refine your skills in photography workshops, and choose from exceptional shore excursions: visiting historic castles and samurai districts in Hagi, exploring Wajima's ancient morning market, reflecting at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, experiencing Busan's lively seafood markets, and discovering the canal-lined streets of Otaru. Every stop reveals new wonders in history, heritage, and human spirit: an unforgettable adventure across one of the world's most historically and culturally rich seas.
