A spring sailing through Japan

14 nights from £9,999 per person based on 2 people sharing

This 14-night sailing on board Seabourn Encore takes you on a thoughtful journey through Japan and South Korea, timed perfectly for cherry blossom season. From the historic streets of Hiroshima to the lively ports of Busan and Kobe, each stop blends old-world charm with modern energy. It’s a voyage that balances quiet moments ashore with the easy sophistication of life at sea.
  • Known for its world-famous beef, Kobe offers plenty beyond the plate. Visit a sake brewery that’s been running for generations and learn how rice and water from Mount Rokko shape its clean taste. Stroll the compact streets of the old town, where shopfronts display handmade goods and neighbourhood bakeries serve some of the best pastries in Japan.

  • Walking through Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park is a quiet reminder of resilience. The atmosphere is calm and contemplative, and the museum nearby gives thoughtful context to what the city has rebuilt. Afterwards, follow locals to an inviting small okonomiyaki restaurant, where the layered savoury pancakes are flipped on the grill right in front of you.

  • Across the sea, Busan brings a different kind of energy. The Jagalchi Fish Market is alive from early morning, with vendors calling out and locals queuing for the freshest catch. You might try a grilled clam or a steaming bowl of seafood stew, then wander down to Haeundae Beach to watch city life unfold by the water.

  • Back on board, Seabourn Encore offers a calm contrast to the buzz of the ports. The ship feels spacious yet personal, with elegant touches throughout and suites that are designed for true comfort with private verandas, marble bathrooms, and in-suite dining that lets you slow down entirely. Meals are a highlight, from relaxed breakfasts on deck to dinners at Mediterranean themed Solis and authentic Sushi, followed by live music or quiet time under the stars.
