The Story

Yokohama serves as Tokyo's gateway to the sea and one of Japan's premier departure ports for ocean cruising. Located just 30 minutes south of central Tokyo in Kanagawa Prefecture, the Yokohama International Passenger Terminal puts you within easy reach of both Narita and Haneda airports. The terminal's modern facilities and efficient operations make embarkation day smooth, while the surrounding Minato Mirai district offers waterfront dining and shopping if you arrive early.

With 103 upcoming sailings starting from $999, Yokohama connects you to diverse ocean itineraries across Asia and as far as the Mediterranean. Popular ships departing from this port include Diamond Princess, Norwegian Jade, and Oceania Vista, operated by Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean International. Many cruises explore the Japanese coastline before venturing to South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, while longer voyages traverse the Pacific or journey westward through the Suez Canal.

Yokohama appeals to cruisers seeking authentic Japanese culture combined with convenient access to Tokyo's attractions. The port's location means you can easily spend a few days exploring temples, museums, and neighborhoods before or after your voyage. Transportation is straightforward with direct train connections from both airports, and the port area itself showcases Yokohama's maritime heritage alongside its modern skyline. Whether you're embarking on a regional Asian exploration or a grand transoceanic journey, departing from Yokohama offers a memorable start to your ocean cruise.
