Coastal Japan: Imperial Dynasties and Modern Culture
A cultural itinerary rather than a wildlife one, and worth saying so plainly: twelve nights of temples, gardens, castles and cities along the Japanese coast, with the ship as the way between them. The naturalist staff, undersea specialist and photo instructor sail as they do on every voyage, but the schedule is built around the shore.
