We are pleased to announce the 2017 Japan sailing programs will open for bookings March 18th!
Japan is known for its timeless festivals and Princess Cruises offers the opportunity to see five different festivals across five different departures. Enjoy the marking of spring with Hanami (viewing of the cherry blossoms) during the Spring Flower Festival cruise or see the illuminated floats of Japanese warriors parade through the streets of Aomori during the Nebuta festival and witness the procession of 200 bamboo poles with lanterns weighing over 100 pounds all carried on the palms, foreheads, shoulders or backs of the celebrants during the Akita Kanto festival.
