About The Cruise
Sailing under the French flag, this magnificent yacht of only 132 staterooms and Suites, with balconies, joined the fleet in July 2013. You will be enchanted by the contemporary decor inspired by the luxury yachting world, with fluid lines and a modern colour scheme combining natural wood with shades of grey and white.
A refined ambiance is enhanced by the quality of the workmanship and materials: white Corian counters in the lobby contrast with the warmth of leather to recall a boat’s hull, while the central sculpture of enamelled pieces takes its inspiration from the sea. In the lounge bar, the carpet picks up a tennis stripe theme symbolising a certain idea of cruising, one synonymous with French elegance and a chic seaside spirit.

Sakaiminato City, located at the tip of Yumigahama Peninsula, is the city whose area is about 28 square kilometers. Since early days, Sakaiminato has grown with its fine natural port, to which the opposite Shimane Peninsula has been a protection against rough waves of Japan Sea and the monsoons. The city is complete with infrastructures such as harbor, airport and railroad.
Korea´s "museum without walls" is akin only to China in its depth and cultural wonder. From Pusan, you can journey to this ancient Silla capital, a dynasty which reigned in Korea for almost a thousand years. Today this small provincial town is virtually a museum without walls, dotted with many splendid ruins. Nearby, the forested mountains and valleys shelter hundreds of beautiful Buddhist shrines including the renowned Sokkuram Grotto, and Tongdosa and Pulguksa Temples.
Pusan (Busan) Attractions
Take in the view from Pusan Tower in Yongdusan Park and visit the Yi Sun-shin statue, the fish market (best seen 6-7 am)Pulguk-sa Temple - This temple located in Kyong-ju is considered the high point of ancient Korean art and architecture. Gyeong-ju - The old capital of the Silla Dynasty was designated one of the world's 10 most significant historic sites by UNESCO.Ja-Gal-Ch'i Fish Market - This popular fish market known as "Aunt's Market" was established by women peddlers during the Korean War.
Nagaski is built on the hills surrounding a picturesque harbor. The city blends Western and Japanese cultures, a legacy of its history as Japan´s only window on the world for 200 years.
Nagasaki Attractions
Glover Garden - With beautiful views of Nagasaki, the garden houses a collection of Western-style houses, including that of Thomas Glover, a 19th-century Scottish merchant who lived in Nagasaki and introduced modern shipbuilding techniques to Japan.
Oura Catholic Church - Next to the entrance of Glover Garden, this is the oldest example of a Catholic church in Japan, built in 1865 for the foreign population that lived in Nagasaki at the time.
Confucian Shrine - Containing the Museum of Chinese History, the Confucian Shrine is dedicated to Confucius, the Chinese philosopher.
Tucked into the protrctive arms of a large sea inlet, Kagoshima is on the southern flak of Kyushu Island. The city has long enjoyed a pleasant climate and productive crops due to a warm marine influence. And her towering Sakurajima volcano causes to compare Kagoshima geographically to the Italian city of Naples.
Kagoshima Attractions
Visit the exquisite Iso-Teien Garden and its villa, built in 1660, and enjoy its gorgeous views before a short ferry ride to smoking Sakurajima for a closeup view of the volcano and its lava fields. Or journey into the countryside to Chiran and its wellpreserved streets lined with samurai homes. Enjoy the beautiful landscape of Lake Ikeda and the stunning vistas of the Satsuma Peninsula.
Uwajima is a city located in Ehime, Japan. In 1595, what is now Uwajima was known as Itajima village.Uwajima is home to an unusual fertility shrine called Taga Shrine, which features a large, realistic phallus carved from a log approximately 9 feet in length, 1 foot in diameter. Next to the shrine is a graphic sex museum, filled with artifacts and paintings from around the world.A mask of Ushioni, the Cow Demon, one of the many used throughout history during the bullfighting festival.The city is renowned for its bullfighting, but they differ from the more widely-known Spanish bullfights in that there is no matador. Two bulls are brought together in a ring, and fight until one bull's knees touch the ground or flees from the ring, marking it the loser.
Set on a bay in the Inland Sea, Hiroshima was the infamous site of the first atomic bomb explosion of August, 1945. Its tragic results are reflected in the sobering photographs of Peace Park. However, perhaps the best reason to visit Hiroshima is the enchanting island of Miyajima with its famous Itsukushima Shinto shrine, considered one of Japan´s three most beautiful sights. Its famous ´torii´ stands just offshore, a tall, vermilion- colored symbol of Japan, which appears to float during high tide.
Hiroshima Attractions
Visit the skeletal A-Bomb Dome, the Memorial Peace Park and Museum and the statue to the children who died. Stroll through beautifully landscaped Hiroshima Gardens, visit the rebuilt Hiroshima Castle or journey to the exquisite sacred island of Miyajima, just a few miles offshore for a serene and uplifting walk through its dense forests and see the extraordinary Itsukushima Shrine.
