Travel to Japan Without a Plane: New Incheon-Departing Cruise Offers a Tour Around Japan

A new cruise package has been launched, allowing travelers to tour Japan without taking a flight, with prices starting in the 200,000 KRW range per night.
CRUISIA, a global real-time cruise booking platform, announced on the 7th that it has started selling Japan cruise packages departing from Incheon in the second half of this year.
This package features the Norwegian Jade, a flagship vessel of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), and will depart from Incheon twice, in October and November.
The 11-night, 12-day itinerary departing on October 18 sails from Incheon to Sakaiminato, Kanazawa, Akita, Aomori, Hakodate, Kyoto/Osaka, and Nagoya, before arriving in Tokyo. In Shimizu, one of the stops, passengers will have the opportunity to view Mount Fuji.
Another itinerary, departing on November 21 for 9 nights and 10 days, starts from Incheon, stops at Jeju Island, and visits Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Hiroshima, Kyoto/Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo (Yokohama), offering a tour of Japan’s southern and Honshu regions.
For both itineraries, passengers booking through CRUISIA will receive a 150-minute Wi-Fi package per person and a $50 credit for shore excursions.
Seung-Hwan Min, sales manager at CRUISIA, stated, “This package offers a highly competitive price for traveling to major Japanese cities in a single voyage without flying. We plan to continue expanding cruise routes departing from Korea.”
