Norwegian Jade: 9-Night Cruise from Seoul (Inchon) - March 14, 2027

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Jeju Island South Korea, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 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 Norwegian Jade will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Nagasaki, Japan. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Wander through beautifully preserved Western-style homes and gardens from the 19th century while enjoying panoramic views of Nagasaki harbor and learning about early international residents.

Your ship arrives in Shimonoseki, Japan at 8:00 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. Explore Karato Market, Shimonoseki's famous seafood hub.

With 12 hours hours in Hiroshima, Japan - from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Hiroshima is famous for its own layered version of okonomiyaki, a savory pancake filled with noodles, cabbage, pork, and sauce.

The Norwegian Jade will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Beppu, Japan. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Beppu Hells are a collection of dramatic geothermal sites showcasing the power beneath the city.

Your ship arrives in Kochi, Japan 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. Summer can be hot and humid, so light clothing and water are important.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Nagoya, Japan, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 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. Visitors can explore the majestic Nagoya Castle, immerse themselves in local museums, and discover the unique craftsmanship of traditional industries.

The Norwegian Jade will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Shimizu, Japan. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Shimizu's fish market is a feast for the senses.

Your cruise ends in Yokohama, Japan, where the Norwegian Jade is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Museums, parks, and cultural sites provide enriching experiences, while the city's nightlife and shopping districts offer endless entertainment.
