Every upcoming call keeps the same hours, 07:00–15:00: 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 stretch ashore between 08:00 and 21:00 (the night is not touring time). Dates and times from the cruise line’s published itinerary; the port has not listed these calls yet; the daily programme has the final word.
07:00–15:00 · about 6 usable hours · gangway by 13:30

No guided day on this site fits these calls and is open on them; the timed plans below are the day.
The port has not published Riviera's berth in Muroran for 1 May; ships here normally use Shukutsu Pier (祝津埠頭) at the west end of the Hakucho Bridge for large ships (Diamond Princess, Ovation and Navigator of the Seas on the city’s FY2026 list), or Sakimori Pier across the bay; Chuo Pier (中央埠頭) in the old town for small and mid-size ships. Berths can be reassigned on busy days; the daily programme has the final word.
