Sailing around Japan on a cruise is absolutely amazing! Treat your whole family to a 6-day, 5-night adventure aboard Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas on the Shanghai-Nagasaki-Kagoshima route.

With 16 decks packed with entertainment facilities like the North Star observation pod, FlowRider surf simulator, and bumper cars... there's more than enough to keep you busy every day. 2️⃣ Perfect for family trips - kids can enjoy supervised activities while seniors relax. Rotate through 7 complimentary restaurants without getting bored. 3️⃣ Though shore time is limited, it's enough to explore the highlights of two charming Japanese cities without the hassle of long transfers. 🛳️ Daily Itinerary: Day 1: Boarding at Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal Arrive before 2pm for check-in.
