Across the Pacific: Vancouver to Tokyo Aboard Celebrity Edge

October 1–17, 2028 | 16 Nights | Celebrity Edge

Two Continents. One Ocean. An Extraordinary Journey.

There's something distinctly different about crossing an ocean by ship.

Rather than simply flying from one continent to another, you experience the journey itself—the changing scenery, the rhythm of life at sea and the anticipation of arriving somewhere entirely new.

For our exclusive Gin & Tonic Travel 2028 Cruise Collection, we've selected a remarkable 16-night transpacific voyage aboard Celebrity Edge, departing Vancouver on October 1, 2028, and arriving in Tokyo on October 17.

It's an opportunity to experience one of the world's great ocean crossings aboard one of Celebrity Cruises' most innovative ships.

The Pleasure of Life at Sea

Transpacific cruising offers something increasingly rare: time.

Time to explore the ship, enjoy an unhurried breakfast, discover a favourite lounge or simply watch the ocean stretch toward the horizon.

Celebrity Edge is particularly well suited to an extended voyage. Its contemporary design, excellent dining, entertainment and thoughtfully designed public spaces offer plenty of variety throughout the crossing.

From the open-air Magic Carpet to the beautifully designed Eden and the ship's distinctive Infinite Veranda staterooms, Edge brings a modern approach to ocean travel.

And with multiple days at sea, there's ample opportunity to appreciate everything the ship has to offer.

Your Voyage: Vancouver to Tokyo

Your journey begins in Vancouver before heading west across the vast North Pacific, crossing the International Date Line and eventually reaching Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.

The itinerary includes an overnight visit to Muroran, the gateway to the Sapporo region, followed by stops in Akita and Hakodate before concluding in Tokyo.

Your 16-Night Itinerary

Port schedules are subject to change. The International Date Line crossing affects the calendar during the voyage.

Discover Northern Japan

One of the highlights of this itinerary is the opportunity to explore a part of Japan that many international visitors overlook.

Muroran & the Sapporo Region — An Overnight in Hokkaido

Your first Japanese port is Muroran, on the island of Hokkaido. With an overnight stay, there's greater flexibility to explore the region.

Hokkaido is known for its impressive natural scenery, excellent seafood, distinctive regional cuisine and beautiful landscapes. Sapporo, the island's largest city, is accessible on a longer excursion from Muroran.

Akita — A Different Side of Japan

Located on the western coast of northern Honshu, Akita offers a quieter perspective on Japanese culture.

The region is particularly associated with traditional craftsmanship, local cuisine, sake production and beautiful natural surroundings. It's an appealing contrast to Japan's larger metropolitan centres.

Hakodate — History, Harbour Views & Seafood

Hakodate, on the southern tip of Hokkaido, is known for its attractive waterfront, historic architecture and celebrated seafood markets.

The city offers a fascinating blend of Japanese and Western influences, reflecting its history as one of Japan's first international trading ports.

Tokyo — The Journey's Finale

The voyage concludes in Tokyo, one of the world's most dynamic cities.

From traditional neighbourhoods and historic temples to remarkable dining, shopping and modern architecture, Tokyo rewards travellers who take time to explore.

We can arrange additional nights in Japan, allowing you to experience more of the country before returning home.

Why Stop in Tokyo?

One of the most compelling aspects of this sailing is how it connects with other voyages in our 2028 Cruise Collection.

Celebrity Edge arrives in Vancouver on October 1 following our nine-night Alaska cruise from Seattle. Guests can combine the two and continue directly across the Pacific.

Then, on October 17, Edge departs Tokyo for Singapore on another 15-night voyage.

That creates the possibility of three consecutive sailings aboard the same ship, travelling from Seattle through Alaska, across the Pacific to Japan, and onward to Southeast Asia.

Of course, there's no need to book multiple cruises. The Vancouver–Tokyo crossing is an exceptional journey on its own.

Whether you're considering one sailing or an extended itinerary, we'll help you explore the options and coordinate the details.
