Ship: SH MINERVA

Philippines to Japan Cultural Discovery Cruise

Sail from Manila through the remote island groups of the Philippines — colonial towns, Ivatan stone villages, and coral-fringed beaches — before crossing into southern Japan, where volcanic coastlines, sacred Christian sites, and the quiet gravity of Hiroshima bring a different kind of depth to every port. This is a voyage of vivid contrasts: ancient traditions still lived in the present, and landscapes shaped equally by nature and by history

SH Minerva was built in Finland’s Helsinki Shipyard, and offers a truly unforgettable cruising experience. Unobstructed views throughout the ship, welcoming spaces to relax, and world-class restaurants, staterooms and amenities make traveling on this modern cruise ship a complete pleasure.
