Tokyo to Incheon
This fourteen-night voyage from Tokyo to Incheon aboard Silver Muse explores East Asia between Japan's capital and the Korean gateway to Seoul. The 596-guest ship offers Silversea's all-inclusive concept with butler service, premium wines, Wi-Fi and gratuities included. In late April you encounter East Asia's spring climate, when the mountainous regions are still in delicate green and the harbours bask in mild sunshine. The route links tradition, port culture and the modern city life of two great civilisations.
Route highlights
- Tokyo: opening in Japan's capital with temples, gardens and avant-garde quarters.
- Japanese port culture: provincial cities with market traditions and local cuisine.
- East Asian spring: mild climate with late blossoms and fresh greenery.
- Korea Strait: calm passage to the peninsula.
- Silversea on-board culture: butler in every suite, curated wines and several complimentary restaurants.
- Incheon: destination port with connections to Seoul, the Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Hongdae district.
Early booking advantage: Voyages in 2027 fill quickly - premium cabins are often reserved 18-24 months in advance. An early booking enquiry is non-binding and secures your preferred cabin category.
