Your ship · your port · your hoursNext call Fri, 27 Nov 2026, 08:00–19:00 (11 h in port), at Chuo Wharf Berth 5. Below: only the plans and tours that fit that call.
Every upcoming call keeps the same hours, 08:00–19:00: 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 City of Fukuoka Port & Airport Bureau — 2026 cruise call results (実績, as of 2026-09-01) + schedule to end of November (予定, berth bookings as of 2026-10-16) (as of 2026-10-16); the daily programme has the final word.

“Leave by” is the gangway time minus the taxi time quoted above and 15 minutes to find a taxi; on big-ship days ranks run out, so leave earlier rather than later.
Cut to the 27 Nov call. The half hour to get off and the hour before all-aboard are already kept free.
