Step aboard the Sapphire Princess and prepare for nineteen nights of relaxing travel through the sea from Tokyo and back again!
Stopping at exotic stops such as Yatsushiro, Seogwipo City, and Toba makes this cruise notable. This route is an interesting one for the Sapphire. Actually, it sails it only once.
We include all all entertainment, meals, taxes, and port fees in our price, so there are no surprises at checkout. With a cost of less than $130 a day, this bargain is strong.
Over 2,600 guests can comfortably travel on this highly-rated Grand class vessel, based in Tokyo and refurbished just one year ago in 2025.
The Sapphire Princess offers guests a casino, a spa, and a gym.
This itinerary includes five days at sea and thirteen days in port. Highlights include visits to very uncommon ports like Yatsushiro, Seogwipo City, and Toba plus a long stop in Osaka.
