for your 7 day cruise

Oct 1- Cheju, South Korea

Jeju Island, also known as the "Island of

the Gods," is a popular vacation spot for

Koreans and many Japanese. It remains

one of the top honeymoon destinations for

Korean newlyweds. The island's mixture of

volcanic rock, frequent rains, and temperate climate, make it very similar to the Hawaiian Islands in the U.S. The island offers visitors a wide range of activities: hiking on Halla-san (South Korea's highest peak), catching sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, viewing majestic waterfalls, riding horses, or just lying around

on the sandy beaches.

Oct 2- Fukuoka, Japan

A big, semi-industrial city at the

southern end of the Shinkansen,

FUKUOKA was, until recently,

simply a place to negotiate as quickly

as possible en route to Kyushu's more

picturesque regions. However, over the

last few years it has established itself

as western Japan's major cultural centre

and an important international gateway.

Though not a huge place (just under 1.3

million people), the city combines tremendous vitality with a determination to make the rest of Japan sit up and take notice – already it claims the country's biggest hotel, longest bar, largest cinema complex and most advanced

baseball stadium. For the visitor this translates into a thoroughly modern city with all the energy and atmosphere of a Tokyo or Osaka, contained

within manageable proportions.

Oct 3 - Kagoshima, Japan

With a population of nearly 500,000, KAGOSHIMA

curls round the west shore of Kagoshima Bay, a mere 4km from one of the world's most active volcanoes.

Sakurajima's smouldering cone constitutes the city's

most obvious and compelling attraction, but Kagoshima

contains a few sights of its own which justify a day's

exploration. Foremost of these are its classical garden,

Sengan-en,  which uses Sakurajima in the ultimate

example of borrowed scenery, and several excellent

museums of local history and culture.  The best are

devoted to Kagoshima's mid-nineteenth-century

hey-day when Saigo Takamori, amongst other

local heroes, played a major role in Japan's

modernization.

Oct 4 - Nagasaki, Japan

The Nagasaki Peace Park commemorates the

atomic bombing of Nagasaki of August 9, 1945,

which destroyed wide parts of the city and killed

ten thousands of inhabitants.  Nagasaki is an

attractively situated port city on the island of

Kyushu and the capital of Nagasaki Prefecture.
