Japan Cycling Cruise

Our carefully curated choice of daily routes experience interactive stops at samurai villages, feudal castles, swordsmiths, sake breweries, bamboo forests, pearl farms, sacred Shinto shrines, and ancient Buddhist temples.

Let the ship be your hotel and your bicycle the key to discovering the heart of Japan—where coastal castles, sacred gardens, and cherry blossoms greet you with every sunrise.

From the glowing skyline of Tokyo to the lantern-lit streets of Osaka, your wheels will carry you on an adventure immersed in the Japanese culture across seven distinct regions.

Santana’s 2027 Japan Cycling Cruise includes Asia's finest cycling on low traffic roads with pristine scenery. An immersive 11-day adventure across seven regions explores the heart of Japan's culture, arts, and cuisine.

In addition to cycling that’s exotic and unique, this event is designed to include interactive experiences with some of the friendliest people on earth — local hosts who will help us to understand and appreciate their country and culture.

On any day you can ride long, short, or not at all. If you opt not to ride you can stay aboard for the scenic morning cruise or join Sergio for a guided tour by bus. Either way the ship spends late afternoons docked at a fascinating port before traveling up to 150 miles overnight to reach our following day’s adventure.

Imagine the convenience, security, and comfort of returning to the same 5-star resort after each day’s ride, and the excitement of exploring an entirely new region the following day.
