Experience the beautiful spectacle and discover the wonders of Tokyo and Mount Fuji in 2024

Japan is a unique blend of ancient and modern. It boasts countless natural wonders and cultural highlights but perhaps no single experience is as beautiful or memorable as that of 'Hanami', or cherry blossom, viewing. Each spring, millions of Japanese wait for the first buds of the pink cherry blossom - known as Sakura; the symbol of renewal, vitality and beauty - to appear. Next year, you will have the chance to experience it for yourself.

On this 12-night cruise for our readers you will journey far and wide through this fascinating land. Your trip starts in the frenetic capital city. A city of contrasts, Tokyo combines soaring skyscrapers with blooming gardens, noodle houses and western-style restaurants. And no trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to its most iconic landmark, the 2,400m Mount Fuji.

Travelling on Celebrity Cruises®' award-winning Celebrity Millennium, you will enjoy unforgettable spaces and world-class amenities. Prepare to embark on a culinary adventure with menus crafted by Michelin-starred chef Cornelius Gallagher using locally sourced ingredients, paired with the most awarded wine collection at sea. Other highlights will be Kochi, Kobe and the beautiful beaches of Ishigaki Island.

See the cherry blossom

There is no better time to visit Japan than during the Hanami festivities, which celebrate the beauty of the cherry blossom and the fleeting nature of life. The blossom typically sweeps across the country between March and May, making this trip perfectly timed to see it at its most spectacular.

The best of Japan

This exclusive itinerary takes in so many must-see destinations, from the conic Mount Fuji to Mount Godaisan with its temple and botanical garden, and, of course, the neon lights of Tokyo.
