Singapore to Tokyo by Sea: 3772 Miles of INCREDIBLE Sights
Ойын-сауық
Every day I was amazed by the things I saw cruising from Singapore to Tokyo. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I don't think I would have believed it. I'll show you everything in this video!
I’ve just disembarked a cruise on the biggest American cruise ship ever designed for the Chinese market, we sailed from Singapore to Tokyo and although I’ve cruised plenty of times in the past in America or Europe this trip surprised me in every way possible. From the ship to the passengers, the entertainment to the destinations, it was completely different to what I’m used to.
There are so many incredible places to visit by ship, here's a few of my favourites:
- Cruising into the Arctic Circle: • Cruising Into The Arct...
- I visited 27 of Britains best sites: • I Visited 27 of Britai...
- Cruising across Germany, cycling everyday: • Discovering Germany by...
I have cruised with Royal Caribbean in the past and have always enjoyed the experience so when I saw that they were sailing in Asia I thought that this would be the perfect way to give a trip like this a go. The reviews of this ship were considerably worst than others in the fleet but I was honestly ready for anything and I wanted to find out why.
We boarded the ship in Singapore and despite the fact that there were lots of different nationalities onboard and visas needed it actually didn’t take as long as I expected. They did take and keep our passports which is very common on Asia cruises. We had copies of our passports and our driving licenses so it wasn’t a problem.
I’d already checked in online pre-cruise and because I’m from the UK I didn’t need any visas for the places that we were visiting. Spectrum of the Seas was built in 2019 and she can hold almost 5000 people at maximum capacity. I’d learn later that the most popular common onboard was Singaporean!
Which does make sense and it explains a lot of things that happened on the cruise.
Walking into the ship was such an exciting feeling, I took a cruise a couple of years ago onboard Anthem of the Seas which is the sister ship to this one, meaning that they have the same base design. Spectrum is like Anthems Chinese cousin and I was excited to see what differences there would be.

Imagine going halfway around the world and still having to deal with people not getting back to their tour bus on time. SMH

Emma, your videos are always so wonderfully put together. Speaking for myself, I think this one might be your masterpiece, at least so far. Even at 25 minutes I was never bored, and honestly, it flew by, and I could have easily watched 25 more minutes. I could see these videos being very much like watching a reel of somebody's holiday snaps and how dull that would be, but your narration gives everything so much life. Brilliant, as always.

Great video here Emma! As a Singaporean, I hope that you enjoyed your time in Singapore before starting the cruise at Marina Bay Cruise Centre. Hopefully you did get a chance to visit the HSBC Rain Vortex waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport this time or if not, hopefully next time. I do agree that the humidity is something that many visitors and even locals like us often can't bear with. Thank you for sharing with us your cruise experience in this video here!

Loved this! Exciting to see as I’m doing a similar itinerary in reverse next month. May have to try a hop on hop off bus in HK as per your suggestion :)
This video was so much more than a cruise video. The sights and vistas were beautiful. The way you described everything made me feel like you had a great time and dare I say you may have inspired me to try something like this. Thank you Emma 😊
I absolutely loved Singapore too! Such a lovely clean, safe place. The heat didn’t even bother me (being from Brisbane). Thanks so much for your fantastic videos! 💞

パスモパスポート Pasumopasupōto - Pasmo Passport, the IC card for overseas travelers who are visiting Japan. pah-sue-moh pah-sue-poh-toh but the vowels are shorter and said like you are playing hot potato.
That is the best tourist vid I've ever seen. So informative, honest, and with a sprinkling of humour. Thanks Emma.
Emma the way you tell stories is so Captivating! I always check to see if you’ve posted something new because you always make me smile. I love the way you told the story about the nail glue, truely felt like something out of a sitcom lol!
The unsweetened Japanese tea in a bottle is one of my favourite. I drink tea without sugar.
Thank you for these videos, you give me so many great ideas of how to travel with ease. I was scared of the language barrier but this really puts my mind at ease. Safe travels as you continue on!
Emma, this was great! The time flew by watching it. I always wondered what it would be like to do a cruise through Asia...and now I know. You hit so many high points and gave people ideas for when they travel to those places. Cheers!
I’ve never been on a cruise and I honestly don’t know if I ever will but I adore your videos and love whenever I see a new one pop up! They’re always so interesting, and you’re so calming to listen to! Can’t wait to see what’s next 🧡

While I was working at Google headquarters, (Mountain View, Calif.), a few years ago, I was really pleased to find that all their restrooms were outfitted with the best Japanese toilets. Turned out to be the ONLY thing I missed about not working there any longer.
We did a similar itinerary in 2020 just prior to COVID. Singapore to Yokohama on Diamond Princess. One of our favourite trips that we've done. I grew up in Malaysia (and live in Sydney now) so it's always nice to get back to Singapore for a visit. We loved Japan. As you say, it's so easy to get around and everyone is happy to help you out even if you don't speak the language.
Because of Emma, I went on my very first cruise this year. I didn't really like it that much and I don't know if I ever wanna do it again, but I'm staying for the very entertaining videos :)
I’m so glad you did this cruise. We were looking at this very itinerary with Royal Caribbean. Thank you 😊
Exquisite In All Aspects! By Far One Of The Best Cruises You Have Been On! Period! Congrats On Taking This Cruise, Emma! So Envious Of You! God Speed Aleays!💖
We love Singapore🇸🇬 and Japan🇯🇵
Great video. And timely. We are booked on a Bangkok - Singapore - Vietnam - Hong Kong cruise in February. Can’t wait. And this video is getting us even more excited.

I cruised out of Singapore on Sapphire Princess in January 2020, just before the pandemic. It was a Southeast Asia itinerary taking in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. I enjoyed all the places I visited but Singapore was something special. I was lucky to have two nights in Singapore pre-cruise. This was a bucket list adventure for me too! Your video inspires me to go back.
This is one cruise I will probably never go on as we don’t like visiting really busy places . So Hong Kong is definitely out . There are some beautiful areas to see and you made it look so exciting but it’s just not for us . That’s what I like about your channel , you have shown us so many different places to visit , with such diverse culture’s 😊❤
This looks amazing. This is going on our bucket list for sure.

I love your videos! You provide a lot of very helpful information, and your adventurous spirit and good humor add a lot. I was very interested to learn about this cruise, and I truly enjoyed the journey vicariously, while knowing that I could never tolerate the heat and would be miserable if I ever venture to that part of the world. It's the Faroe Islands for me, on an Oceania cruise in 2025. Dressing in layers can provide relief from cold, windy weather, but when it's too hot, there's nothing you can do (well, without breaking decency laws.)
I’m sure many people have said this already but so many options for portable water mist fans! SO MANY! I can’t believe you didn’t see them all over Japan!!! They are heaven in a Florida summer!!! Definitely recommend!! This video has me considering a cruise to tour Asian countries! 🤩
Wow, what a fascinating trip and a superb video, thank you! I loved the parks and gardens but would hate the crowds and heat.

Your videos are the best cruise videos! We were in Singapore in December with HAL, it was great revisiting that trip through your excellent commentary. We have experienced people getting on the wrong bus (so many look the same). The guides will inform the other guides to be on the lookout for missing cruisers.

I used to go to Japan for work, I would fly into Tokyo and take the Shinkansen (Bullet train) to the city where I worked. On the weekends, I would also take it back down to Tokyo to explore. One Shinkansen trip, there had been an accident on the tracks and we were 6+ hours late. The JR Train staff were so mortified, we got free round trips to come back to Tokyo. Other than that one train, I've never been late.
Wow so glad you got to experience all over Asia and this is on my bucket list and definitely want to vacation on this gorgeous cruise ship ❤️🤎👻🎃🍂💛🍃🍃👻🤎🖤🧡🎃🍃

This is a wonderful example of how difficult styles of excursions are still valid.
