Why a Princess cruise is the best choice to see Japan

A Princess cruise offers a convenient and deeply immersive way to experience Japan. Backed by over a decade of experience sailing these waters, we’ve crafted journeys that let you unpack just once and explore a world of cultural richness —through authentic onboard experiences, regionally inspired dining, and a wide range of shore excursions that bring each destination to life. It’s a seamless way to discover Japan, both onboard and ashore.

Culturally immersive onboard experience

With two ships dedicated to Asia itineraries, Princess brings the spirit of Japan to life at sea. Guests can unwind in traditional Japanese baths (onsens), savor authentic regional cuisine, and enjoy enriching cultural performances—from Rakugo storytelling to folkloric dance. Every detail is designed to offer a deeper connection to Japan’s heritage.
