Prepare yourself for twenty nights of leisurely travel across the sea when you join the Sapphire Princess from Tokyo and back again.
Stopping at exotic cities such as Sakata, Nagoya, and Kanazawa makes this cruise particularly interesting. This route is an uncommon one for the Sapphire. As a matter of fact, this is the only time it's going to sail it!
This includes all all entertainment, meals, taxes, and port fees. No surprises at checkout! Coming in at under $130 a day, this bargain is strong.
The Sapphire Princess, based in Tokyo and refurbished less than one year ago in 2025, is a highly-rated Grand class cruise ship that can house more than 2,600 passengers.
The Sapphire Princess offers guests a spa, a casino, and a gym.
This cruise consists of fourteen days in port and five sea days. Highlights include visits to very uncommon ports like Sakata, Nagoya, and Kanazawa.
