Hakata, Japan

Hakata, Japan

Fukuoka's old merchant quarter still runs on the yatai food stalls that line its rivers each evening, plastic-sheet tents serving the tonkotsu pork-bone ramen this city is credited with inventing. Canal City's shopping and entertainment complex shows the region's more modern face, while Dazaifu's shrine and gardens, a short train ride out, offer a quieter, more contemplative counterpoint. A strong onsen and wellness culture in the surrounding hills, and clean beaches along Hakata Bay, round out one of Kyushu's most food-obsessed cities.

At SeaDream, our experience was great in the lap of nature (at sea). The hospitality, courtesy and responsibility was at its height... flowing throughout the voyage. Really a memorable experience!! Mitu & Harjit S.India
We've had a lovely time. My husband's request for his 70th birthday was to be on SeaDream in the Caribbean, and we've really enjoyed it. SeaDream is by far, the best cruise line in the Caribbean. Catherine B.Great Britain
