Creator's Key Takeaways
Japan, frankly, is showing off, and we love it for that.
The sheer relentless enthusiasm with which this country ushers you in and out is faintly exhausting in the way only genuine kindness can be.
In the grills, this is not merely permitted. It's practically encouraged.
Queen Elizabeth has just had a major refit. There's lots of complete refurbishments of some of her amazing areas and we've had a quick look around and she looks brand new.

We spent one extraordinary voyage circumnavigating Japan on Cunard Line's fully refurbished Queen Elizabeth — three seas, two countries, eleven ports and roughly one lifetime's worth of "wait, what's that?" moments. From the red-crowned cranes of Kushiro to the atomic history of Nagasaki, this is the entire itinerary, port by port, with the highlights, the history and the things nobody quite warns you about. If you're planning a Cunard or Japan cruise, or simply here to sail vicariously from your sofa with a cup of tea — welcome aboard. We've done the disembarking so you can do the deciding. In this destination guide we cover every stop on the voyage: Hokkaido's wild northern ports, the temples and shrines of the mainland, the volcanic drama of Kyushu, and two ports across the water in South Korea. ⚓ PORTS ON THIS VOYAGE: Kushiro • Hakodate • Tokyo (tours from Yokohama) • Shimizu • Kochi • Hiroshima • Miyazaki (tours from Aburatsu) • Nagasaki • Jeju • Busan • Sakaiminato 🕐 CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 01:04 Yokohama Sail Away 03:02 Sea Day Activities 07:58 Hiroshima: History & Hope 15:47 Cruising the Kanmon Strait 19:55 Nagasaki: Where East Met West 26:44 Miyazaki from Aburatsu 33:07 Kochi #Cunard #JapanCruise #JapanTravel #CruiseVlog DO YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SHIP, CRUISE LINE OR VOYAGE?
