Japan & Korea cruises

What it’s like

Welcome to Huginn's Way! Cruising between Japan and South Korea is a smooth way to see two distinct cultures without constantly packing and unpacking. You will unpack once and wake up in a new coastal city or historic port every morning.

These itineraries usually begin in Tokyo or Yokohama and sail across the East China Sea. You get a great mix of neon-lit modern skylines, ancient temples, and coastal islands, with plenty of time for local food and shopping.

What to expect

• Plugs in Japan use Type A or B (two flat prongs), while Korea uses Type C or F (round pins). Bring adapters.
• English is widely used on board, but directional signs ashore may be primarily in Japanese or Korean.
• Cash (Yen and Won) is still needed for small shops and street food vendors, though cards work in cities.
• Ships often dock close to city centers or efficient train networks, making independent exploration fairly straightforward.
