ASUKA III Cruises
On the eve of Christmas, depart from Nagoya and call at Komatsushima in Shikoku, savoring the local charm of Awa as you prepare for the holiday season aboard a luxury cruise.
Nagoya Port's Garden Pier is a destination in itself: an aquarium, a retired Antarctic research vessel and an observation deck atop the port building, all within walking distance. Once your luggage is handed over you need not go into the city at all — half a day passes easily right at the pier.
