Cruise Trek 2025 ~
“Tokyo, Japan to Alaska & Vancouver, BC Canada
& more options in Japan”
April 27 ~ May 11, 2026
Another Cruise Trek Family Adventure for 2025!
We will set sail from Yokohama, Japan which is the port of
embarkation in Tokyo. As you can see from the itinerary below we
will have stops in picturesque Alaska and even Kodiak for the first time!
Plus, we will have a good number of sea days to relax and engage one
another in the CT family. Though the real opportunity lies in arriving into
Japan earlier to explore much more! There are tons of opportunities to
visit amazing cities and for new experiences – In that, how about
arriving in Osaka the weekend before the cruise, then train to Kyoto and
Tokyo!?
Honestly, this will be a very big trip for us!
~ Do You Need Travel Insurance? ~
One option is Trip Insurance.
There are other choices, but we offer
Travel Guard for informational purposes.
As such we are planning to arrive in the southern most prefecture
of tropical Okinawa, Japan (birthplace of Eric Stillwell) – in late
March 2025. Here, we’ll attempt to live more like a local and
at an Airbnb or condo/hotel (costs are very reasonable) – to
enable a “home base”.
Then on the weekend of April 19/20th, 2025, we will fly to Osaka,
Japan. Here in Osaka, we will meet up at our hotel, with the Menyuks,
and of course with more of the CT family wishing to start their pre cruise
journey here. After our stay in Osaka we will transfer/tour to Kyoto for
another hotel stay. After exploring Kyoto, we will ride again the
“Bullet” train to Tokyo for a 3 night hotel stay. You’re
welcome to join for all, a portion, or just the cruise – up to you!
To plan all – We just have to know how many want to join and
on which portion. With that, we can book/plan hotels, transfers and local
tours for our CT family.
There is so much to explore on this adventure – especially
if you join us for the pre cruise tour! Think of tranquil and tropical Okinawa;
the Dotonbori district of Osaka (home of the Cup of Noodles); Kyoto,
acclaimed for its traditional architecture, temples, shrines, restaurants and f
estivals; then to Mt Fuji and Tokyo!
We sail from lively Tokyo and the port of Yokohama, then to Kushiro,
Japan, then to Alaskan ports, then land in Vancouver, BC Canada for our
respective flights home. It’s an Asia North Pacific Crossing. We
sail on the 1,924 passenger ship – the Noordam, and
sister to the Oosterdam – as opposed to another
gargantuan. This adventurous 15 day cruise has 7 days at sea which
means loads of time to intimately engage with one another. All in all, a
terrific opportunity to once again enjoy a different culture/society and
language, revisit a few places we’ve been to before, explore
some new ports, and depart our own comfort zone.
There are details to discover and choices to make – as
of this writing; we are working on “local” hotels, tours
and exact dates/timing! Call or email with questions. Also, please
leave us a message and we’ll get back to you.
