Ship counts are counted line by line from the official schedule of Shimizu Port Cruise Promotion Committee (as of October 5, 2026); dates and times from Shimizu Port Cruise Promotion Committee (FY2026 and FY2025 call lists). Schedules shift — ships cancel for weather, ports add late calls — so treat this as the season's shape and your cruise line's documents as the letter.

Questions about cruises to Shimizu

Which cruises go to Mt. Fuji?

Mt. Fuji has no cruise pier — ships "visit Mt. Fuji" by calling at Shimizu, the port beneath it. In 2026 that means Celebrity Millennium (×17), Diamond Princess (×13) and around 30 other ships. One warning from the 35-year visibility record: the mountain shows fully on only about 1 day in 3 across the year, best on winter mornings — see our data article before you book a viewing excursion.

Which cruise ships go to Shimizu?

Celebrity Millennium (×20), Diamond Princess (×15), Asuka III (×6), Norwegian Jade (×5), Seabourn Encore (×4), Westerdam (×3) lead the 97-call schedule for Jan–Nov 2026, with more ships calling less often. Ships with their own guide on this site link to it from the table on this page.

When is the next cruise ship at Shimizu?

On the official schedule as of 2026-10-05: Celebrity Millennium on Thu, 15 Oct 2026 (07:00–18:00); Asuka II on Thu, 15 Oct 2026 (09:00–17:00); Navigator of the Seas on Sat, 17 Oct 2026 (07:00–18:00). Ports add and cancel calls, so check your cruise line's documents for your own date.

How long do cruise ships stay in Shimizu?

Across 94 dated calls with published times, the typical stay is about 9h; 3% are under six hours and 44% are ten hours or more. 3 calls run overnight. Our Shimizu guide has timed plans for each of those lengths.

What do you do at Shimizu on a cruise call?

That is this site's whole specialty: our Shimizu guide carries timed shore plans for 2–3h, 4–6h and 8h+ calls, measured from the gangway with a 60-minute safety margin — plus the exact bus, tram or shuttle from the berth. Start at port-of-japan.com/shimizu/
