This trip is notable because you'll exclusively stop at exotic destinations such as Tsuruga, Tokushima, and Hitachinaka. This route is an uncommon one for the Sapphire. In fact, it sails it just once.
We include all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in this, so that you can compare trips easily. At less than $140 a day, this is a solid deal.
The Sapphire Princess is home to a casino, a gym, and a spa.
This cruise includes six days at sea and twenty port days. Highlights include long stops in Hakodate, Aomori, Osaka, Kochi and more as well as visits to very uncommon ports like Tsuruga and Hitachinaka.
