11 Night Circle Japan Cruise aboard the Sapphire Princess

Share

Prepare for eleven nights of relaxing sailing through the sea when you step aboard the Sapphire Princess from Tokyo and back again.

Visiting once-in-a-lifetime stops like Sakata, Kanazawa, and Aomori makes this trip special. This route is an uncommon one for the Sapphire. Actually, it sails it only once.

Offered at less than $160 a day for an outside cabin, this bargain is solid. The price is the total you pay for an outside cabin, no surprises. This price just dropped, so book immediately to lock in your outside stateroom before the price rises again!
