This is the second of 3 parts. Our Transpacific from Vancouver, BC to Yokohama, Japan began this adventure, and this second leg of our trip is about our experiences on the Japan Explorer 11-night cruise aboard Celebrity Millenium. This won't go into our days at sea spent on the ship, it's more a pictorial journal of our days in port. This cruise left Yokohama on 24-Sep-2017, and returned to Yokohama for an overnight stay on 04-Oct-2017 - disembarkation was on 05-Oct-2017. After the cruise we continued on to Kyoto for a few nights.
There were 3 parts to this trip: Part 1 - Vancouver to Japan, Part 2 - Japan Explorer (this part) and finally Part 3 - Japan on Land - covering the 6 nights we spent on land after the 2 cruises.
