Experience Japan’s Cherry Blossoms with a New Cruise for Spring 2026

Exciting New Expedition Cruise Launch

Pioneering in the small-ship expedition cruise sector, Heritage Expeditions has unveiled an exciting new Cherry Blossoms of Japan Cruise for the spring of 2026, sparked by immense anticipation from potential guests.

Overview of the Cruise

This family-owned expedition cruise company’s Commercial Director and Expedition Leader, Aaron Russ, noted that the introduction of this new itinerary stems from an increasing desire among travelers to immerse themselves in the enchanting cherry blossom season, known as Sakura, and partake in traditional Hanami parties.

Exploring Japan’s Scenic Landscapes

Featuring a comprehensive 12-day voyage, the cruise will commence from Tokyo and conclude in Osaka. Highlights of the journey include visits to the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu while navigating the picturesque Seto Inland Sea and stopping in Busan, South Korea. The itinerary promises guests an opportunity to engage in cherry blossom festivities along the route.

Cultural Highlights

“Japan is justly famous for its cherry blossoms, surrounded by vibrant festivals and celebrations during the Sakura season. Our guests are eager to experience these traditions firsthand,” Russ shared.

During this journey, the cruise aims to showcase some iconic landmarks as well as off-the-beaten-path locations that can only be accessed by an expedition vessel. Noteworthy destinations on this cruise include:

• Naoshima – Japan’s famous art island
• Hiroshima – steeped in history
• Miyajima – home of the famous floating Torii Gate
• Mount Fuji – an iconic symbol of Japan
