Every upcoming call keeps the same hours, 08:00–18:00: plan one day and repeat it.
Usable hours follow the one rule: off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, back at the gangway an hour before that. Overnight calls count the longest daylight stretch. Dates and times from Nagasaki Port (Nagasaki Prefecture port office) — R8 (2026) and R9 (2027) cruise call schedules (as of 2026-09-25); the daily programme has the final word.
