Mundomar Cruises continues to expand its program of great voyages for 2027 with the launch of “Japan from North to South”, a 17-day experience designed to discover the cultural, historical and scenic diversity of Japan through an itinerary that combines land visits and sailing through some of the country's most outstanding destinations, plus a stop in South Korea.
With a single departure on May 3, 2027, this program offers a more comprehensive exploration of Japan, integrating major cities, historical temples, traditional landscapes, and coastal regions into a single organized trip. The itinerary includes a seven-day land tour and a ten-day cruise, with essential services coordinated to ensure a comfortable and enriching experience.
Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Kamakura: Japan's most iconic destinations.
The adventure begins with direct international flights from Madrid, or connecting flights from Barcelona or Lisbon, and three nights in a four-star hotel with full board in the bustling city of Tokyo, where you'll enjoy sightseeing tours. The Japanese capital will offer a first glimpse into the country's contrasts, from the historic Asakusa district and Senso-ji Temple to Tsukiji Market, Meiji Shrine, and the vibrant Shinjuku district.
The journey continues to Kyoto aboard the famous bullet train, an experience that is an integral part of the country's identity. There, travelers will enjoy two nights in a four-star hotel with full board, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the city and discover some of its great cultural icons, such as the Golden Pavilion, Nishiki Market, and the renowned Arashiyama Bamboo Grove.
The land route will also include a visit to Nara, with its deer park and Todai-ji Temple, and a visit to Kamakura, the former political capital of medieval Japan, where highlights include the Great Buddha, Hasedera Temple, and Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine. After this first immersion in Japanese history and traditions, it will be time to board the Sapphire Princess.
Ten-day cruise to discover Japan and South Korea.
The second part of the trip will take place aboard the Sapphire Princess, with a maritime itinerary that will allow you to explore different regions of Japan without having to constantly change accommodations.
The tour includes stops in Hakodate, on the island of Hokkaido; Niigata, known for its rice-growing tradition and sake production; Busan, one of South Korea's main port centers; Sasebo, with its coastal landscapes; and Kagoshima, located opposite the iconic Sakurajima volcano.
The combination of destinations offers a diverse perspective of the country, beyond its major urban centers, bringing travelers closer to Japan's regional diversity and the rich culture of East Asia.
The days at sea will complement the experience with the ship's comfort, cuisine, and entertainment options.
Upon their return to Tokyo and after disembarking, the program includes a final visit to the surroundings of the Imperial Palace, the lively Shibuya district and the Odaiba area, before the transfer to the airport to begin the return journey.
A fully organized tour with all-inclusive services and assistance in Spanish.
One of the main attractions of this offer is its comprehensive approach. The program includes round-trip international flights, three nights in a 4-star hotel in Tokyo, two nights in a 4-star hotel in Kyoto, visits to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Kamakura, bullet train tickets between Tokyo and Kyoto, a ten-day cruise, transfers, and a Spanish-speaking tour leader.
In addition, travelers can book optional excursions in Spanish from Mundomar Cruises to delve deeper into the destinations visited during the maritime stops.
With this new departure, Mundomar Cruceros reinforces its commitment to trips that combine cruise and land tours, offering travelers the possibility of discovering long-distance destinations with comprehensive planning and the support of cruise specialists.
