Set sail with the Holland America Noordam and get ready for twenty-eight nights of relaxing sailing across the sea from Tokyo and back!
This sailing is noteworthy because you will only call on rare destinations such as Hitachinaka, Maizuru, and Niigata. This route is an uncommon one for the Noordam. Actually, it sails it only once.
We include all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in this, so there are no sneaky extra fees. Offered at under $165 per day, this represents a bargain.
Based in Puget Sound and refurbished less than two years ago in 2024, over 1,900 cruisers can sail on this top-rated Vista class vessel.
The Noordam Holland America delights guests with a spa, a gym, a casino, and five jacuzzis.
This cruise consists of six sea days and twenty-one port days. Major features include visits to rare ports like Hitachinaka, Maizuru, and Niigata.
