10 Night Japan Explorer aboard the Diamond Princess

Share

Join the Diamond Princess and prepare yourself for ten nights of exciting cruising across the sea from Tokyo and back!

This trip is special because you'll only spend time in extremely rare cities like Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Kagoshima. This route is an unusual one for the Diamond. In fact, it sails it only once.

The price is the total price, including meals, entertainment, taxes, and fees. Coming in at less than $150 a day, this deal is good.
