See ancient cultures meet vibrant modernity on a cruise to Japan and make the most of overnight stays on board in Osaka and Yokohama

If you're looking for reasons to visit Japan, this 11-night cruise takes in the country's innumerable highlights - from ancient shrines, to futuristic cities.

From Yokohama, gateway to Tokyo, you'll call at Shimizu, allowing you to take in the wonder that is Mount Fuji, and an overnight stay on board in Osaka offers plenty of time to explore the city or even venture inland to Kyoto, where you'll find several temples and shrines.

In Kochi, immerse yourself in local culture and relax on one of the beautiful beaches, before a sea day takes you to Busan in South Korea. Expect a faster pace to life here, with bustling markets entwined with historic temples and coastal skywalks offering picturesque views.

There will be enough time to take in more culture in Nagasaki and Kagoshima before you make your way back to Yokohama. Ending with an overnight stay, get a final glimpse of Japan's rich culture and traditions and see how Tokyo truly is a city of contrasts.

On board Celebrity Millennium, all your meals will be included and your sea days can be spent being as active or relaxed as you like - with a full programme of activities and entertainment, as well as facilities including a pool, spa and adults-only solarium.

Alternatively, cruise Japan during cherry blossom season, or book this land tour of Japan to discover ancient traditions and cultural experiences.
