MSC Bellissima: 10-Night from Shanghai - September 20, 2026

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Jeju Island South Korea, from 2:30 PM to 10:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Scattered across the island, these carved stone figures are a symbol of Jeju heritage.

The MSC Bellissima carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in SASEBO, JAPAN. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Explore the Kujukushima Islands by boat or from observation points.

Your ship arrives in Busan (Kyongju), South Korea at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Pack comfortable shoes - markets, temple steps, and uneven streets.
