Thanks for your advice. We did Japan on our own in 2019. We did it in autumn to see the colour and it was amazing. We just felt a cruise this time around Japan would be nice, even though you see less of course of each spot.

Well that is good advice. Thank you. . Ponant is becoming less favourable to us the more we read some comments on here, although the ships would be amazing actually. We may stick to a medium size ship, around the 1000 x 1500 is a nice number we feel. We have always done that size ship. Within Japan is our main intention here, so we will continue to look for which ship does what we are look for.

Thank for that. The English language issue, althoughthey do speak it, is becoming a concern for us in sailing Ponant.

Thank you for that. I will look out for your reviews.

Thank you. 😀

Hello .. I have just put up a post on 'Planning Ponant cruise in Japan'. I am not sure if I have set it up correctly. And whether I have linked it to Ponant roll call on here. Can you please let me know. Thanks .. Ian

Hello .. Peter and I have done a few cruises with Celebrity to Alaska, with Holland America from NYC to Quebec City and from Hong Kong to Singapore, and finally with Oceania from Singapore to Melbourne. With each of these cruises we used this forum to get information as well as meeting people. We are now thinking of flying to Japan, where we have previously been, and doing a cruise, with a line such as Ponant, around parts of Japan that we have not been to. Are there any people here that have done such a cruise, or may be thinking of doing one. Our last trip to Japan was in the magnificent autumn season, and we are not yet sure what time we would like to do this cruise. Probably not keen on cherry blossom time. We look forward to any thoughts and ideas on this type of cruise, as well as on Ponant itself.
