GUNTÛ

For further indulgence, enjoy sensational cuisine in the variety of onboard restaurants. The intimate six-seater sushi bar boasts panoramic views of the passing landscape and some of the best sushi in the country. Meanwhile, washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine) and yoshoku (a style of Japanese cooking with a western influence) can both be enjoyed in the Dining Room, where the chef will prepare a fresh catch according to your preferences.

Unlike conventional cruises, itineraries are revealed a week or two before departure while the schedule of off-ship activities remains undisclosed until you've boarded, adding an air of mystery to your journey. Opt for a westward itinerary, focusing on uncovering regional history and landscapes; a central route delivering breathtaking sights as you anchor amidst the natural splendour of the Seto Inland Sea's islands; or an eastward itinerary offering immersive experiences in local culture through visits to rolling olive gardens and utterly striking art galleries.
