Settle in for twenty-three nights of refreshing sailing across the sea when you join the Sapphire Princess from Tokyo and back.
Spending time at once-in-a-lifetime destinations like Yatsushiro, Wakayama, and Akita makes this trip particularly exciting. This route is a special one for the Sapphire. Actually, it sails it only once.
This price is the total price, including meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes. Offered at under $180 a day, this bargain is.
Based in Tokyo and refurbished only one year ago in 2025, more than 2,600 people can cruise comfortably on this highly-rated Grand class ship.
The Sapphire Princess is home to a spa, a gym, and a casino.
This sailing is made up of eighteen days in port and four sea days. Major features include visits to exotic stops like Yatsushiro, Wakayama, and Akita.
