The voyage

Japan in autumn, by sea

Sail from Tokyo north to Hokkaido, along the quieter Sea of Japan coast and across to Busan, before returning through the Seto Inland Sea to Hiroshima, Kochi and Kyoto. Nine ports in eleven days, timed for the first colours of autumn.

Oceania Riviera is a mid-size ship known for some of the finest cuisine at sea, with a relaxed, country-club atmosphere and spacious verandas.
