Itinerary

Day 1 Aug 11, 2026 Keelung, Taiwan Departs 16:00 With over 2,600,000 inhabitants, Taipei is the largest city on the island of Taiwan and its capital. It represents the fulcrum of the country: the headquarters of the government is located here and it is the cultural and commercial center of Taiwan. An MSC Cruise will take you inside this crossroads of Japanese and Chinese cultures, where the ancient and modern coexist with no distinction. One of the symbols of the city is the Taipei 101 Tower, named for the fact that there are 101 floors. First known as the Taipei World Financial Center, it is located in the Xinyi district. Reachable on an MSC excursion, this singular construction, built in 2004, is bamboo-shaped and its 509 meters in height made it the the tallest building in the world in 2004: today, it is in fifth place; first place is held by Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is also one of the destinations that can be reached with an excursion: a white building with a blue octagonal roof, whose colors also reflect the national flag, it is a symbol of freedom, equality and brotherhood. Consisting of 89 steps, one for each year of the leader's life, it is surrounded by Chinese-style gardens and buildings housing examples of Taiwanese culture. Considered one of the most important monuments of the 20th century, the Memorial Hall tells the story of the head of the Chinese nationalist government which was in charge from 1950 to 1975; the hall opened in 1980. More than 700 thousand pieces representing 8,000 years of Chinese history and art from the Neolithic to the present day are exhibited in the National Palace Museum which can be visited on an MSC excursion. The museum was once located inside the walls of the Forbidden City of Beijing. In 1949, it was moved to the Shilin district in Taipei, into the current building, after the government of the Republic of China was also transferred.

Day 3 Aug 13, 2026 Sasebo, Japan 09:00 – 19:00 10.0 hrs ashore What used to be an old fishing village, Sasebo has been a major naval port since the late 19th century - first with Imperial Japanese Navy and today as a base for the U.S. Navy. Don't miss a boat tour of the emerald-green 208 Kujuku Islands nearby, a beautiful sight set against the deep-blue waters of the bay. On shore, explore Sasebo's Zoological and Tropical Botanical Garden, featuring 80 animal and 1,200 plant species, all with spectacular views of the Kujuku Islands. And if you want to go Dutch, head to Huis Ten Bosch, a recreated 17th-century Dutch village complete with colourful tulip fields. For something more authentically Japanese, head to the Yorozu-cho district to visit a market teeming with fresh produce and seafood as well as handmade clothing and pottery.

Day 4 Aug 14, 2026 Yeosu, South Korea 07:00 – 16:00 9.0 hrs ashore Cruise to Yeosu, South Korea and experience one of the country’s most scenic coastal destinations on the Yeosu Peninsula in South Jeolla Province. The area is naturally protected by the surrounding islands of Namhae, Dolsan, and Geumo, creating calm waters and a distinctive coastal atmosphere that defines this region. Yeosu is known for its active fishing industry and serves as a starting point for travelers who want to visit nearby islands. Visitors can easily reach Odongdo Island and Geumodo Island, both popular choices for sightseeing and island excursions. The waterfront offers inviting scenery along with seafood restaurants and a fisheries market, providing an authentic taste of Yeosu’s maritime culture. Jasan Park is located near the shoreline and offers relaxing walking paths and elevated views over the coastal landscape. Yeosu also holds cultural importance because its harbor and shoreline served as the main setting for Expo 2012, an internationally recognized event focused on oceans and coastlines. Whether you visit for coastal scenery, fresh seafood, or island hopping, choosing to cruise to Yeosu, South Korea provides a memorable introduction to the natural and cultural beauty of the southern coast.
