* 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
Hanseatic Spirit crosses southern Japan once in this period, on the 13-night expedition from Hong Kong to Incheon of 31 May–13 June 2027; Ishigaki is the one call on our port lists.
Three things Hanseatic Spirit passengers should know
Ishigaki is your first Japanese portComing from Keelung, the ship clears immigration at Ishigaki, which takes part of the eight-hour call.
- Small islands, no terminals
Zamami and the other Nansei stops are expedition landings: little infrastructure and few shops.
Sasebo is a long dayHapag-Lloyd lists 07:00–19:00 at Sasebo on 11 June 2027; the call is not on the Sasebo port list in our data, so your voyage documents decide.
Questions Hanseatic Spirit passengers ask
