Our World Cruise 2027 continues from Hong Kong, and this is your chance to join it on the final straight. We'll set sail for Xiamen, home to some of China's best beaches, and Shanghai, for a startling juxtaposition of old and new. Now we sail to Busan, South Korea, for bustling street markets and Buddhist temples, then Hiroshima, Japan, to contemplate moving monuments such as the Peace Park. Next, Shimizu, in the shadow of Mount Fuji, and the neon lights of Tokyo, are followed by the blossom-filled park at Hitachinaka and orchards of Aomori. In Hakodate, tea is served at the Former British Consulate, and, in Kushiro, we'll see red-crowned cranes on the marshes. Now we cross the International Dateline to Kodiak in Alaska, where bald eagles soar overhead, then Homer for tales of pioneers, and Seward to hike around the fjords. We cruise by the awesome Hubbard Glacier bound for Skagway, with its Gold Rush-era buildings. In Alaska's original capital, Sitka, the onion-shaped dome of Saint Michael's is a reminder of the days when this was Russian territory, while Icy Strait Point offers thrills-and-spills activities. Onwards to Ketchikan, where buildings balance on stilts over the water, before the Seymour Narrows deliver us to the lively city of Vancouver.
