$5890—Save $2337 on 16-nt Japan & North Asia fly-cruise-stay
From subtropical islands to historic Japanese ports, discover Asia’s diverse coastal beauty
Why We Love This Deal
It’s rare to see Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan brought together so seamlessly. This 16-night holiday shows how shared roots evolved into distinct cultures; moving between these places sharpens the differences. You notice it in food, pace, neighbourhoods and daily rituals. Seen back-to-back, the contrasts feel immediate and unmistakable. Begin with a two-night stay in Hong Kong, where skyline views and markets set the pace. Once onboard Regatta, the journey traces a compelling arc north. The itinerary balances major capitals with lesser-visited ports, revealing the region in layers. Cities bring energy, scale and cultural depth; islands and regional ports slow the pace and add perspective. Okinawa and Jeju introduce subtropical landscapes, volcanic scenery and coastal calm. Southern Japan reveals layers many travellers never reach. Sea days arrive naturally, with changing coastal scenery and time to reflect. Each destination builds on the last, rather than competing for attention. With flights included, this is a journey designed without overpacking or rushing. The perfect route for travellers who value comfort and cultural perspective.
