An Adventure On Board a Ship Awaits
Japan is one of the most desired see-before-you-die countries on a most travellers’ lists. In order to meet the ever-increasing interest in visiting Japan, many quality cruise line operators now include this intriguing country as a destination in their cruise deals. While some popular cruise operators such as MSC Cruises have yet to add Japan to their itineraries, in the mean time there are several major carriers that make Japan a destination as part of Asian and around the world cruises. Itineraries are as varied as Japan is dimensional and provide a multitude of choices for experiencing the “Land of the Rising Sun.” Japan is a regular destination with Azamara cruise lines (sister company of Celebrity Cruises) and they offer a diverse selection of itineraries throughout the Asian region. Japan is understandably becoming a popular destination with Azamara and cruises with this outstanding company stop in to several Asian countries including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China. They are a great choice for exploring several Asian nations in this region and seeing first hand why Japan stands alone as an island nation dynamo. Fred Olsen Cruises has world cruise itineraries that often offer Tokyo as a port of call. What tour of the world would be complete without a visit to the country that has such a presence in the arts, culinary, historical, and economic world? World cruise packages are another great option for experiencing the dynamic nation of Japan.

Ports of Interest
It is nearly impossible to inventory the unique attractions of this diverse and enigmatic nation that you can experience on Japan cruise deals. But a good start to getting your Japan fix is by diving into the enormous and fascinating city of Tokyo. High energy and high technology make this economic powerhouse a frenetic and culturally exciting stop for Japan cruises. Sushi bars, Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo Stock Exchange, vending machines, anime and manga, all vie for your attention in this neon metropolis. While you’re living it up in Tokyo you may want to get out of the fray and take it down a notch by visiting Hakone National Park to get up close and personal with Mt. Fuji. Princess Cruises offers a great shore excursion to this famous area. Naturally, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945 by the United States during World War II still weighs heavily in the Japanese national psyche. Peace Park in Nagasaki is an important memorial and on the anniversary of the bomb’s detonation peace demonstrations are held here. Royal Caribbean Cruises offers cruises with Nagasaki as a port of call. To see the quieter cultural side of Japan, the port of Osaka offers a gateway to the wondrous city of Kyoto. Wandering around this city affords glimpses of serene gardens, temples, palaces, historical geisha houses, and if you come at the right time, the magic of Japan’s cherry blossoms. Osaka is not a common stop for most cruise deals to Asia, but the itinerary can be found.

Things to do
Japan is chock-full of diversions and entertainment. If Caribbean cruises appeal to those who want to luxuriate on a tropical beach with nothing more to contemplate than the waves and the next cocktail, Japan cruise deals appeal to those who are ready to get up and go. Casual fashion shopping in Japan is legendary. Japan is a trendsetter and offerings range from elegant and chic to the downright bizarre in the case of youth fashions. Even the window-shopping is interesting enough to warrant taking along a camera. You simply cannot miss the culinary experience that is Japan, period. Japanese food is taking the world by storm with its flavourful take on healthy ingredients and emphasis on seafood. NCL Cruises among several others feature Japanese cuisine and even have Japanese restaurants on board. While the dining on board cruises may be excellent, there is no substitute for experiencing this country’s delicious dishes while rubbing elbows with the Japanese locals in noodle shops and sushi bars. Make sure you slurp your soup; otherwise you will be the only one who doesn’t! One way to see Japan on a local level during cruise deals is a trip to one of its communal bathhouses. Originally for folks who don’t have baths in their homes, they are popular with stressed out urbanites that go to unwind. For those who wish to sample the Japanese nightlight there is a bar for every interest. And don’t worry; you’ll have no problem finding Karaoke. Japan is one of the top destinations for Asian cruises for a good reason.
