MSC Cruises has announced a special cruise onboard the MSC Splendida for Japan’s spectacular cherry blossom season, in May next year.
Departing 6 May 2018, the nine-night round-trip from Yokohama, will take in some of the islands’ most beautiful historic and contemporary sights as well as plenty of cherry blossom viewing along the way.
The itinerary will include a circumnavigation of the main island of Honshu, calling at Fushiki-Toyama, Kanazawa and Maizuru, before spending half a day at Busan in South Korea and visiting Kagoshima on Kyushu Island and Kochi on Shikoku Island.
Guests will get a fascinating insight into the Japanese way of life, from high-rise cities to beautiful gardens, traditional ceremonies and crafts, ancient temples and castles, and many natural wonders including hot springs, forests, rivers and a famously active volcano that overlooks the seaside city of Kagoshima.
