Cultural journeys and expeditions
Tracing the coastline of the Sea of Japan, this immersive journey showcases Japan and South Korea through a seamless blend of history, artistry, and contemporary life. Begin with two nights in Tokyo, discovering serene shrines and dynamic neighborhoods before boarding the Shinkansen to Osaka to embark on an 8-night cruise aboard Le Soléal.
Cruise to culturally rich ports including Tamano and nearby Kurashiki, sacred Miyajima and Hiroshima, the hot springs of Beppu, pearl-farming Uwajima, the preserved castle town of Hagi, and the fishing port of Sakaiminato. Cross to Busan for a glimpse of Korea's colorful coastal character, then continue by high-speed rail to Seoul for three nights exploring royal palaces, traditional hanok architecture, and lively markets. Throughout the journey, regional cuisine and authentic experiences offer a true taste of life along these storied shores.
