Royal Caribbean moved Navigator from Los Angeles to Singapore in October 2026. Japan comes on the repositioning voyages: across the Pacific in October 2026, then Singapore–Tokyo one-ways in February and March 2027.
Three things Navigator of the Seas passengers should know
At 139,999 GT Navigator used Minato-cho Quay A, not the Wakamatsu terminal beside the morning market. Plan the shuttle or a taxi of about 20 min to the station.
From Los Angeles the face-to-face inspection was at Hakodate; from Singapore in February 2027 it is at Nagasaki, after Keelung.
Royal Caribbean names Yokohama; the Tokyo port calendar lists the ship at the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal, 05:30–16:30. In October 2026 the ship used Daikoku Pier in Yokohama. Your boarding documents decide.
On 2 March 2027 the ship is booked on the 2nd Cruise Berth at Shinko, 5.6 km from Kokusai-dori in a cargo district: ship shuttle or a taxi of about 10 min (about ¥1,750).
Questions Navigator of the Seas passengers ask
Where does Navigator of the Seas dock in Japan?
Hakodate at Minato-cho Wharf, Quay A (14 Oct 2026); Shimizu (17 Oct 2026); Yokohama at Daikoku Pier (18 Oct 2026); Nagasaki at Matsugae Cruise Terminal (20 Oct 2026 and 21 Feb 2027); Tokyo at the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal (25 Feb 2027, per the Tokyo port calendar; Royal Caribbean lists Yokohama); Nagoya at Kinjo Pier 80–81 (26 Feb 2027); Naha at the 2nd Cruise Berth, Shinko Wharf No.12 (2 Mar 2027); and Ishigaki’s cruise berth (3 Mar 2027).
What is Navigator of the Seas’ Japan itinerary for 2027?
A 12-night Singapore-to-Tokyo voyage leaves Singapore on 13 February 2027 and calls at Hong Kong, Keelung, Nagasaki (21 Feb, 07:00–19:00), Kumamoto (22 Feb) and Kagoshima (23 Feb), arriving on 25 February. The 12-night return leaves the same day at 17:00 and calls at Nagoya (26 Feb, 08:00–17:00), Kobe/Osaka (27–28 Feb, overnight), Naha (2 Mar, 08:00–17:00), Ishigaki (3 Mar) and Hong Kong, reaching Singapore on 9 March. Royal Caribbean says the ship also sails from Yokohama in 2027, so more Japan dates can follow.
How long is Navigator of the Seas in Hakodate?
16½ hours on 14 October 2026: 06:30–23:00 at Minato-cho Wharf, Quay A, which leaves time for the Mt. Hakodate night view after a morning of immigration.
