* Usable = time in port minus 2 hours: half an hour to get ashore, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, and back at the gangway an hour before that. "Be back by" is that gangway time. Schedules change; the port's own list is the reference.

Every ship and date at each port
Twenty 2026 Shimizu-area calls mapped, with a Kobe/Osaka overnight on every sailing.
Three things Celebrity Millennium passengers should know
Millennium spends a night in Kobe or Osaka on every sailing — the only realistic Kyoto window of your cruise. Decide how you’ll use it before you decide anything else.
A private car from the pier prices per group and typically beats the per-person ship excursion for couples — and sees more.
The 12-night pattern places Shimizu at the start or end — either way it’s your Mt. Fuji shot, and mornings are the mountain’s clearest hours.
Questions Celebrity Millennium passengers ask
Does Celebrity Millennium stop overnight in Japan?
Yes — every 2026 Japan sailing includes an overnight in Kobe or Osaka, scheduled so passengers can make a full Kyoto day. It is the single most valuable day of the itinerary to plan well.
What ports are on Celebrity Millennium’s Japan cruises?
The 12-night pattern runs Tokyo or Yokohama roundtrip via Shimizu, Kobe/Osaka (overnight), Kochi, Busan, Nagasaki and Kagoshima, with Hiroshima on some departures and special sailings for Aomori’s Nebuta festival.
