Join us on Asia gay group cruise 2025 as we return to the enchanting and exotic Japan! We are pleased to announce that we will be saling again on the classic Celebrity's cruise ship, recently revolutionized Celebrity Millennium! Our voyage will visit fascinating ports of call in Southern Japan and South Korea. Highlights of our cruise will be Tokyo, overnight in Kyoto, Hiroshima & Jeju Island! This is quite an itinerary, one you won't want to miss!
Japan may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a cruise vacation, but this diversely beautiful country located on the eastern edge of Asia has a lot to offer cruisers, and as an island nation there are possible ports of call on every side of the country. Japan is a country of contrasts. Tokyo speaks of the future, yet Japan’s ancient eastern spirit is ever-present and the stunning natural landscape provides an enduring backdrop.
A Japan cruise takes passengers to bustling cities with vibrant energy and a cosmopolitan vibe, natural wonders like volcanoes and national park, and historic sites amidst cherry blossom trees and other gorgeous scenery. You’ll also be able to try a host of the country’s delectable food scene during a cruise to Japan. You can eat some of the best sushi and ramen in the world, and also have opportunities to try some of Japan’s world-famous Kobe beef and perfectly fermented sake.
Japan is famous for its cherry blossom trees (called sakura in Japan) that bloom in lovely shades of pink and white during spring. You can see cherry blossom trees throughout Japan, but some of the most famous spots to see them are Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo and Himeji Castle near Osaka.
Every detail has been elevated, every comfort refined.
Celebrity Millennium takes you to some of the most incredible destinations on the globe, so it’s only fitting that she offers some of the best experiences at sea, too.
By night, head to the Martini Bar to enjoy a classic cocktail upon a real ice bar, while you watch the bartenders put on a high-energy show every night. The sophisticated atmosphere at Cellar Masters provides a more intimate venue – recline in deep leather seats and enjoy a menu of the finest beers, wines and more.
And now Celebrity Millennium has been modernised as part of The Celebrity Revolution - a $500-million investment to take all of Celebrity Cruises ships to the edge. Stay in brand new staterooms, enjoy beautifully reimagined restaurants and lounges, and relax in the newly redesigned spa. For our Suite Class guests, we now also have The Retreat Sundeck and The Retreat Lounge in addition to our Suite Class restaurant Luminae. Discover all of this and more onboard Celebrity Millennium.
Celebrity Millennium is like the pinnacle of a tall mountain – breathtakingly amazing. It is the best way to travel the world in style and enjoy an incredible cruise: the amenities that Celebrity features in its exceptional ships, combined with extremely personal service, means that you can cruise guilt-free, knowing that you'll be taken care of in every way possible. Luxury, class, and accommodation - these three words describe a trip on Celebrity Millennium perfectly.

Day 1 - Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan
There aren't many places on Earth that blend ancient tradition and the ultra modern quite like Tokyo. Centuries-old gardens and cobblestone laneways live in perfect harmony with soaring skyscrapers and dazzling neon lights. Get immersed in an unrivalled dining scene, fashionable boutiques, and endless cultural encounters in this ever-evolving city.
Day 3 - Kobe, Japan
Perched on a hillside overlooking the sea, Kobe is one of Japan's most attractive and cosmopolitan cities. Home of the heralded Kobe beef, this small city is easily navigated. Visit the Hatsukura Sake Brewery Museum for a tour or dine in one of the area’s incredible restaurants.
Day 4 - Kyoto (Osaka), Japan
Visit Osaka Aquarium, one of the world’s largest aquariums which has over 580 species of sea life on display, or Universal Studios Japan, the company’s first theme park outside of the U.S. Kyoto served as the nation’s capital for more than 1000 years and is home to 17 different World Heritage Sites including Kiyomizudera Temple and Heian Jingu Shrine.
Day 5 - Kyoto (Osaka), Japan
On a Kyoto cruise, discover the fascinating cultural capital of Japan, where countless temples, traditional geishas, Zen gardens, and majestic castles await. Explore Kyoto’s ancient architecture, including the stunning Golden Pavilion and the mystical red torii gates of the Fushimi Inari shrine. Savor the city’s culinary scene, from hole-in-the-wall ramen joints to Michelin-starred restaurants.
Day 6 - Hiroshima, Japan
While paying tribute to the infamous USA nuclear attack that destroyed the city in 1945, Hiroshima is now defined as a beacon of peace and prides itself on its exceptional natural beauty. See more than 300 cherry blossom trees in bloom at Peace Memorial Park, journey to the breathtaking Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, and take time to sample "okonomiyaki"—a delicious example of Japanese soul food.
Day 8 - Nagasaki, Japan
Historically rich Nagasaki features beautiful seaside scenery and fabulous nighttime views from its mountain slopes. Secluded hot springs, fascinating museums, and ornate temples live side by side in this exciting city. Ten natural parks grace the area, and unique festivals can be experienced throughout the year. Walk through streets influenced by both Chinese and European cultures in fascinating Nagasaki.
Day 9 - Jeju Island, South Korea
South Korea's tropical island paradise will enchant you with its sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and amazing volcanic landscape. Need a break from your beach towel? Waterfalls, museums, folk villages, scuba diving, hiking and festivals galore will keep you busy.
Explore the colorful coral and sea life with a scuba dive off the coast of laid-back Seogwipo. Take an underground stroll through the world’s longest lava-tube cave at Manjanggul.
Day 10 - Kagoshima, Japan
Kagoshima is the southernmost city on Japan's bullet train network and the capital of Kagoshima Prefecture. The city is often compared with its Italian sister city, Naples, due to a similarly mild climate, streets lined with palm trees, and Sakurajima, Kagoshima's version of Vesuvius.
Near port, find the fascinating Kagoshima aquarium, traditional Senganen Japanese gardens, museums, the Shiroyama mountain-top park with a view over the city, and Yakushima Island, a registered world heritage site. Plus, an abundance of hot springs, mud baths, and spas to promote serenity and relaxation.
Day 12 - Mt Fuji (Shimizu), Japan
On clear days, particularly in winter, Mount Fuji (Fuji-san in Japanese) is visible from as far as Tokyo, 60 miles away. When Japan's highest mountain is capped with snow, it's a picture-postcard perfect volcanic cone. One of the best-known symbols of Japan, this iconic mountain has been considered sacred since ancient times and was even forbidden to women until the early 1900s.
Day 13 - Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan
Even though Tokyo is among the largest, most frenetic cities in the world, it’s still able to maintain a great deal of efficiency and charm. Amid the endless buzzing neon signs and the overhead cable webs, Tokyo is home to some of the world’s most impressive architecture, stylish shops and 4-star restaurants. Sushi lovers will revel in Tokyo’s offering of the famous dish. And the city’s “Ramen Zones” serve up unique noodle dishes where slurping is encouraged. Visit the Tokyo Tower on your Tokyo cruise for heart-pounding panoramic views of the city way atop the 492-foot high Grand Observation Deck. And just a short distance outside of the clamor the city is a whole different world. In the surrounding small towns and villages you’ll get a glimpse into Japan’s rich culture and traditions. Here you’ll discover scores of wooden residential homes, ancient temples, shrines and imperial gardens. From the frenzy-filled metropolis to the tranquil bonsai-tree-lined neighborhoods, Tokyo is truly a study in delightful contrast.
Tokyo is clean, extremely safe, the people just impeccable, foodgasms galore and a fantastic gay scene with over 300 gay bars in Shinjuku's Ni-Chome district!
