Hokkaido is home to some of the most amazing flower fields, and this is captured through a lavender field on the ship. Here, you can marvel at over 1,200 square feet of lavender shrubs at sea, or bring a piece of Hokkaido back home with you by making your own lavender sachets and crepe paper lavender bouquets.

Over at the Crystal Life Spa, there’ll also be special lavender spa treatments.

Next up, take a trip to Kyoto. Take a walk through pretty rows of cherry blossoms as well as the iconic vermilion Torii gates of Fushimi Inari-taisha.

If you favour Japanese cuisine, you’ll be in for a treat with the array of Japanese delicacies served at specialty restaurants, including Okinawa Wagyu beef, Kyushu delicacies, Osaka specialties, mouthwatering Uji matcha desserts, and more.

Apart from feasting and checking out the sights, there’ll be lots to do.

For one, you can learn more about the intriguing geisha culture, from a make-up demonstration to learning how to create hair ornaments.  There’ll also be live performances of the traditional parasol dance and Yukata fashion shows spotlighting the traditional Japanese summer attire.

Or take part in the first-ever Dream Championships on World Dream, where there’ll be various challenges from S.A.F.E. Archery to a rope course and climbing wall, waterslides, and more – and you can stand to win a Dream Medal, too.

Manga and anime enthusiasts, don’t miss out on the Cosplay Video Game Challenge, where you can get dressed up as your favourite characters and put your knowledge to the test. Or tune in to your artistic side and create your Japanese comic at the manga drawing class.
