Rockstar Adventures Japan 2028 – Itinerary Highlights

*** All itineraries are subject to change without notice.

Highlights of the 8-Night Cruise Itinerary
Osaka, Japan to Busan, South Korea

Osaka: A lively and welcoming start to the journey. Known for incredible food and vibrant street life, Osaka immediately shows Japan’s playful, modern side and sets an exciting tone for what’s ahead.

Takamatsu: A quieter, more refined stop. Home to one of Japan’s most beautiful historic gardens, Takamatsu offers calm landscapes, graceful design, and a sense of peace that feels deeply restorative.

Miyajima Island: Anchoring offshore makes this visit feel especially intimate. Sacred shrines appear to float on the water, deer wander freely, and the island’s gentle spirit leaves a lasting impression.

Hiroshima: A thoughtful and moving day. The city’s history is approached with care and respect, balanced by the beauty and vitality of modern Hiroshima and its message of resilience and hope.

Beppu: A place unlike anywhere else. Steam rises from the earth, hot springs shape daily life, and the landscape feels both natural and surprising, offering a memorable sensory experience.

Uwajima: A small coastal town rarely visited by international travelers. Traditional streets, local culture, and a warm welcome create a feeling of genuine connection rather than sightseeing.

Yakushima: A highlight for nature lovers. Ancient cedar forests, misty mountains, and lush greenery create a powerful sense of timelessness. This is a place people remember long after returning home.

Kagoshima: Set on a broad bay with an active volcano in view, Kagoshima feels relaxed and sun-washed. Its southern character and slower pace offer a beautiful contrast to earlier ports.

Nagasaki: Rich with layers of history and global influence. Hillside views, quiet streets, and a reflective atmosphere give Nagasaki a depth and elegance that resonates deeply.

Busan, South Korea: A vibrant and colorful finale. Bustling markets, seaside scenery, and bold flavors provide an energizing close to the journey while adding an international dimension.

Travel Insurance

Yikes, travel insurance is not a fun topic, but many of you have asked…
This is about what happens when you are paid, packed, and ready to go… and there’s a problem.

The two biggest reasons people take insurance are:

• Trip Cancellation
• Medical Expenses or Medical Evacuation

Full-ship charters are better than regular cruises in many ways. However, the penalties and potential for a loss if you have to cancel are higher. Shortly after final payment, most full-ship charter cruises become non-refundable. That means if you have to cancel your trip, not only will you face the disappointment of a canceled vacation, but you also won’t get your money back.

Our most popular insurance is ‘World-Wide Trip Protector’, which provides full coverage when purchased up to 21 days after your vacation purchase.

The best value to ensure you have coverage is ‘Trip Protector Lite Expanded.’

We also recommend this membership coverage from Global Rescue. This is an add-on to your regular travel insurance.

• Evacuation Service – They provide unmatched Medical Evacuation services, which include rescue from the point of illness or injury to the nearest facility and Transportation to the home hospital of choice for members requiring hospitalization.
• Security Package – Provides a service that will extract members in danger of bodily harm from war, civil unrest, natural disasters, government evacuation orders and other security emergencies.

Please read the details and consider adding this coverage. We recommend the Medical Evacuation and Security Package Coverage.

Please consider purchasing Travel Insurance

Since everyone seems to like me right now, and I’d like it to stay that way, please consider purchasing travel insurance. Or at least don’t say I didn’t warn you if there is a problem.

Other coverages that take the worry out of travel:

• Trip Interruption – Return air only
• Trip Delay & Missed Connection coverage
• Baggage Loss or Delay
• Cancel for Work Reasons
• Options available on select policies

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your upcoming cruise. Hundreds of circumstances could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early, or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling. Travel insurance provides coverage for unforeseen issues, such as unexpected financial changes, scheduling conflicts, canceled flights, or serious illnesses. You even have the option to cancel for any reason. We recommend Travel Insured: Get a quote and buy insurance.
