Commencing our adventure in Tokyo, the city’s parks burst into a symphony of colors, and locals celebrate Hanami, picnicking under the delicate sakura trees.

Eager to explore beyond the capital, we embark the brand-new luxurious Silver Nova, named the world’s most beautiful cruise ship, a floating oasis that promises a unique perspective of Japan’s cherry blossom season.

Circumnavigating this beautiful country, the Silver Nova will reveal coastal towns and hidden gems, each adorned with cherry blossoms in full bloom, creating a breathtaking panorama against the backdrop of ancient temples and modern skyscrapers.

In Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, we will wander through the historic Gion district, visiting traditional tea houses and as we look across the serene waters of Lake Kawaguchi, nestled beside Mount Fuji, we will have front row seats to nature’s beauty seamlessly blending with the epitome of Japanese artistry.

From the infamous Hiroshima, a city of resilience and renewal, to the fishing villages of Hokkaido and the culturally rich Kanazawa, Japan is breathtaking from one perfect backdrop to the next.
