Why Sail from Tokyo with Celebrity Cruises
With so much to offer as both a destination city and a port to start your Asia cruise adventure, Tokyo (and Yokohama) has it all. Tokyo is both the cultural and economic center of Japan, with world-class dining, museums, parks, and shopping. Visit the opulent Shinto temple of Senso-Ji, then marvel at the meticulous and curated symphony of commerce happening at the world’s largest fish market of Tsukiji. Lose yourself in the narrow bar-lined streets of Shinjuku, and try a local sake or rice beer.
Your voyage on the stylish Celebrity Millennium promises an unforgettable journey in a contemporary setting with plenty to do on board. Relax by the sparkling pool or at the Rooftop Terrace with sweeping views of the coastline. Elevate your vacation experience with The Retreat, where you’ll enjoy accommodation in one of our suites, a dedicated butler, dining in Luminae, an exclusive restaurant serving dishes designed by our Global Culinary Ambassador Daniel Boulud, and more.
