Itinerary for Discover Japan

Day 1 - Fly UK to Tokyo / Enjoy Tokyo

Day 2 - Enjoy Tokyo

Day 3 - Enjoy Tokyo

Day 4 - Embark Queen Elizabeth in Tokyo

The wide ocean, the harbour with its special atmosphere, the hill which stands in a row of steep slopes, a Chinatown which is full of exotic moods – there are so many “postcard scenes” in Yokohama. Not surprisingly, many movies have been made here. Visit Kamakura with its temples and 35-foot-high Great Buddha. Take a bullet train to see Mount Fiji, or pack an overnight bag and set out for the ancient cities of Japan: Kyoto and Hakone.

Day 5 - At Sea

Day 6 - At Sea

Day 7 - Hualien

Charming Hualien has a laid back, small-town vibe and one of the most scenic and naturally beautiful areas in Taiwan. It also provides access to the magical Taroko Gorge. Hualien boasts an old-fashioned island culture with a friendly blend of ethnic minorities. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the imposing Central Mountain Range, it’s also home to some of the most stunning scenery in Taiwan.

Day 8 - Taipei

Keelung is the port city of Taiwan, just 20 minutes ride from capital Taipei. Its long, deep harbour provides ample berth for the impressive number of cruise and container ships that keep it thriving. You’ll find most of Keelung’s highlights in the central areas of the city, or within three miles of the downtown area. A walking tour really helps you develop affection for this beguiling port.

Day 9 - Ishigaki Island

Approach Ishigaki with your eyes closed and you could easily believe you’ve been transported to the Caribbean. Your guide to Ishigaki. Japan’s southernmost city is the definition of paradise: pure white beaches, intense turquoise sea and verdant emerald vegetation as far as the eye can see. It’s a sight straight out of Robinson Crusoe; only with the addition of purple ice cream to cool you off. But, make no mistake, Ishigaki isn’t just for sun seekers. The island is rich with Samurai and Ryukyu Kingdom history, while adventurous visitors can kayak through mangrove-lined rivers, hike palm-laden forest and dive among manta rays in colourful coral reefs.

Day 10 - Naha (Okinawa Is.)

Okinawa is the largest of the Ryukyu Islands in the Pacific Ocean and the homeland of the martial art of Karate. Meanwhile, the underground Navy headquarters have some incredible war stories to share. Almost entirely destroyed in 1945, during one of the most extreme battles of World War Two, the island has rebuilt and renovated itself, managing to retain much of its rich cultural history.

Average Customer Rating: 4.9/5

Absolutely awesome

The service we had to get to the right cruise and for it to be fine tuned to suit our needs was exceptional. We were looked after by Nicola Boyd whose knowledge and help was second to none.

Mr Craddock / December 2023

Festive Cruise to the Canaries

Even although Scotland's Cruise Centre is booking holidays for customers all the time, our agent Debbie took a real interest in booking our voyage and was excited at the prospect of the itinerary we had chosen. 1st class, prompt service too.

Mr McDonald / November 2023

Nothing is too much trouble

I have booking with this company for years and have told lots of family and friends about the fantastic, professional and friendly service you offer. You simply are in my opinion the best - I wouldn't go anywhere else
