10 Night Circle Japan Cruise aboard the Diamond Princess
Join the Diamond Princess and settle in for ten nights of relaxing sailing through the sea from Tokyo and back!
This cruise is noteworthy because you will only stop in extremely rare cities such as Niigata, Hakodate, and Shimizu. This route is an interesting one for the Diamond, But this is the least expensive sailing.
We include all entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes in the price, so there are no sneaky extra fees. Coming in at less than $135 a day, this represents a strong value.
