Shimonoseki, Japan

Shimonoseki, Japan

Fugu, the potentially lethal pufferfish prepared only by licensed chefs, is close to a civic obsession in this strait-side city, credited with popularizing the delicacy across Japan. The Kanmon Straits just offshore were the site of the decisive 1185 naval battle that ended the Genpei War, a history still commemorated in local festivals. A relaxed onsen culture and a strong seafood dining scene round out a city defined by the narrow, fast-moving water at its front door.

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
...We had a great time-best ever, and will be coming back...Charlie and I feel like we've been yachting with our "best friends". Hard to believe we didn't know anyone on the yacht 8 days ago-now we've met new traveling friends for the years to come. Mr & Mrs HoganWashington
