Embark on the Sapphire Princess and get ready for twenty-one nights of relaxing sailing across the sea from Tokyo and back!
This cruise is special because you will exclusively spend time in rare cities such as Yatsushiro, Toba, and Niigata. This route is an interesting one for the Sapphire. In fact, this is the only time it's going to sail it!
With a cost of under $125 a day, this is a solid bargain. The price includes all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes. No sneaky extra fees!
Over 2,600 people can comfortably travel on this highly-rated Grand class cruise ship, based in Tokyo and refurbished less than one year ago in 2025.
The Sapphire Princess is home to a gym, a spa, and a casino.
This sailing is made up of fifteen port days and five days at sea. Highlights include long stops in Osaka and Hiroshima in addition to visits to extremely rare cities like Yatsushiro, Toba, and Niigata.
