Lights, sushi, manga ... one word : Tokyo! Set sail on our luxury cruise ship to this incredible city that is known to be sprawling, frenetic, and endlessly fascinating as Japan's capital of contrasts!

Kagoshima, one of Japan's southernmost major cities, is dominated by Sakurajima volcano, an active peak that often sends ash over Kinko Bay. The 1914 eruption created new land. Visitors can try a black sand bath, enjoy views from Senganen Garden (built in 1658 and long owned by the Shimadzu family), and explore museums on Feudal-era and Satsuma history, plus WWII kamikaze squadrons. Nearby Lake Ikeda is said to be home to the Issie monster.

Nagasaki was devastated by the second U.S. atomic bomb on Aug. 9, 1945, killing more than 50,000. Today, the city honors its past while promoting peace and hope. Visit the Atomic Bomb Museum, hear Hibakusha survivor stories, and see the Memorial Hall, Peace Park, and Hypocenter Park. Nearby Suwa Shrine's scarred torii and trees survived the blast. From Mount Inasa, reached by ropeway or bus, you can overlook the harbor and the city's resilient beauty.

Keelung's busy harbour opens the way to northern Taiwan's lively mix of city sights, coastal scenery and rich local flavour. From here, it's easy to explore Taipei's towering landmarks and temples, browse colourful night markets, or enjoy the harbourfront atmosphere and dramatic sea views closer to port.

Fremantle, ranked #7 by Lonely Planet, is shaking off Perth's shadow. Just 20 km away, it has reinvented itself since the 1987 America's Cup: over A$1.3 billion has gone into arts, business, and waterfront renewal, creating live music venues, bars, boutique hotels, bookshops, breweries, and seafood shacks. It also has a darker past: Fremantle Prison housed nearly 10,000 convicts and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Busselton, on Geographe Bay by the Indian Ocean, has a Mediterranean-style climate. The region offers national parks, towering forests, caves, historic lighthouses, and some of Australia's best surfing beaches, plus wineries and microbreweries in nearby Margaret River. Its iconic 1.8 km jetty, the Southern Hemisphere's longest wooden jetty, includes an Underwater Observatory descending 8 m to view tropical and subtropical corals, sponges, fish, and invertebrates.

Albany, 400 km southeast of Perth, is Western Australia's oldest settlement, founded in late 1826 before Perth and Fremantle. Once a military outpost guarding against French invasion, it has a deep harbour, strong colonial history, and a past tied to whaling, which ended in 1978. Visit the Historic Whaling Station, Princess Royal Fortress, and National ANZAC Centre. For nature, climb Mount Clarence for views over King George Sound or walk the coastal paths.

Port Lincoln, on the lower Eyre Peninsula by Boston Bay, is known as Australia's seafood capital and a foodie paradise, with a large fishing fleet, seafood restaurants, and a local wine region. Its Barngala name, Kallinyalla ("sweet waters"), reflects the area's close ties to the ocean. With coves, surf beaches, rugged coastlines, and abundant nature nearby, including a national park, it's one of Australia's most appealing destinations.

Adelaide is a thriving, creative city, not a cultural laggard. Its leafy lanes are full of bars and eateries, from craft beer to modern Australian food, with a strong focus on local produce and Barossa wine. The nearby coast offers beaches, surfers, parkland and wide boulevards. The city also has beautiful historic buildings, many churches, and earned its nickname, "the city of churches," as a free settlement with no penal past or religious persecution.

Melbourne is Australia's refined, contemporary cultural capital: liveable, multicultural, and full of art, museums, fine dining, and street art. Famous for its coffee culture, laneways, rooftop bars, and global cuisine, it pairs outdoor living with award-winning food and nearby wines. It's also a sporting powerhouse, home to the 100,000-seat MCG and major events like the Melbourne Cup, Formula One, and the Australian Open.
