Singapore to Tokyo by Sea: 3772 Miles of INCREDIBLE Sights

- 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.

The second video from this cruise, all about cruising on an American ship designed for China is live now!! th-cam.com/video/-spOUZSQLpM/w-d-xo.html 😀🥰😘
Imagine going halfway around the world and still having to deal with people not getting back to their tour bus on time. SMH
😂😂😂
For real, so disrespectful too
Half way around the world is probably thw only place you'll be on a tour bus so I wouldn't be surprised.
The Human Condition is terminal 😂
I’ll bet they’re probably SGreans, coming from a SGrean 😅
I love this channel! I have no interest in cruising but Emma's channel is so fun to watch!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I agree 100%
Ha. Same here! So weird...lol
Watching your cruising videos has made me book a cruise with Royal Caribbean in March 2024. If I like, I think I will do this Asian cruise.
I find her to be lovely.
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.
Oh my, you are so kind. Thank you so much!!
Totally agree 💯!! This was brilliantly created and narrated … a literal 10/10 … keep up the GREAT work!! 🤩
i started watching her like 7 months ago lol
The unsweetened Japanese tea in a bottle is one of my favourite. I drink tea without sugar.
I love your content. I love how you produce your content.
No preamble; no title card or end card. All content. I love it.
(And so informative).
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
We love Singapore🇸🇬 and Japan🇯🇵
I love your channel. NO drama. NO politics. It is so peaceful.
Thanks so much 🥹❤
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!
Enjoyed it so much! Thank you! 😁❤️ I didn’t get a chance but next time 🥳🥳
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.
Wait, barely one second on The Cookie Department? I fully expected you to say which ones you bought! 😂
😂😂😂😂
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 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! 💞
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.
Since you take so many cruises, I'm surprised by your timidity as a tourist. Japan is an excellent place for beginning tourists - super safe, clean and easy to get around.
LOL...the glue story was hilarious! 🤣 Your panicked description was palpable. Glad it worked out in the end. 👍
SO STRESSFUL 🤣🤣🤣
That is the best tourist vid I've ever seen. So informative, honest, and with a sprinkling of humour. Thanks Emma.
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 🧡
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Enjoying for the third time. ❤
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 😊
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 :)
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 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!
Wonderful format, Emma. I love how you script your thoughts as a voice-over, rather than trying to narrate things as you experience them, as some creators do. You don't ask for anything in your videos, and don't waste a single second of video. Your numbers support this approach, and I'm glad this means you'll be supported to continue doing this. Two other thoughts:
1. I'd want to spend at least 2 more weeks visiting Japan after this! Love the vending machine culture. Some places even have ones for canned local seafood you can't find anywhere else. I think this wouldn't work in many places because the population isn't dense enough to support the foot traffic.
2. It's interesting to compare Singapore with mainland China. Singaporean culture is essentially Chinese, without experiencing Mao's "cultural revolution". Yet they couldn't be more different! Singapore is the most clean and orderly culture in the world, while CCP China is the opposite. If anyone doesn't believe me, just watch "The China Show" here on TH-cam. I watch every new episode on Fridays and it's very eye-opening!
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!
21:22 SEGO, it’s a play on words. Saigo Takamori was a legendary Samurai from Kagoshima. He had a blocky head so he kinda looks like a LEGO character 😅
😂😂😂😂
Wow what an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing, cheers!
It's almost 29 years since I last saw Hong Kong. I loved the Star Ferries; loved the Peak Tram and the views from the top; and even the squat toilet!
I’ve been so excited to see this one, so fun.
It amazes me how people manage to miss buses, even when the time has been clearly given to them! Thank you for the video! The scenery looks amazing!
Me too! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
LOL there is always the couple that think they can do what ever they like and the bus will wait. Having been a coach driver for a number or years, this behaviour is absolutely normal for some people, that is untill they meet me. lol departure time is departure time.
Portable water fans are usually available in home bargains around the sunmer, cheap and definitely worth it 😊
Looking forward to the next video, stay safe xx
Love it. Thank you! 😁❤️
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.
Yay!!! I’m jealous it’s the best. Have the best time ever!!!! 😀❤️
It's wonderful to listen to a nice young lady you can tell is inside a genuinely happy person. Super neat to see what they did with the old Kai Tak airport runway! That's cool!
I’m so glad you did this cruise. We were looking at this very itinerary with Royal Caribbean. Thank you 😊
Did this 16day cruise in 2010 on Diamond Princess from Bangkok to Beijing. Best trip ever and should be on everyone bucket list.
What an amazing experience.
Great video Emma! Thank you
What an awesome adventure.
An amazing and totally groovy episode.
Loved this post, so much fun. I enjoyed living vicariously through your tour!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Awesome video Emma!! I have not done this itinerary and it was extremely informative! 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!💖
I really want to visit Japan sometime, so I especially love hearing about your experience there. What a cool trip!
Thank you Emma...you have the ability to take us on the cruise with you! You were born for this...blessings!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
That looked like an awesome trip. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Great video and information Emma!!
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.
Ive been looking forward to this for so long!
Thanks Emma for your superb content.
Thanks Julie! More to come 😀❤️
Ive been so excited for this video
Thank you!! The next one will be more cruise specific this is the destination one 😀❤️
This looks so fun! I enjoy your videos a lot
can’t wait to watch this when i get home from work!! looks like a beautiful trip, hope you enjoyed emma!
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was fun! Cool to see the different sights! Thanks Emma!
Thanks Alex!! ❤️❤️
what a great trip
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! 🤩
I absolutely LOVE barley tea!
But to each their own....
Another great vid.
I watched your Facebook content and I looked for your channel and I’m so glad I found it. I love the longer videos! You’ve also quickly become a comfort channel for me to watch
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
This was very helpful
Another great video, Emma, thank you. I would also find the heat and humidity difficult. It is nice to see what can be seen in each port. Keep Cruising!!
Good to see you again Emma thank for recording and sharing your trips, so we don't have to go.
EmmaCruises: You're so good at informing your audience in such an engaging way. Thank you for taking the time to film all parts of your travels for viewers to see. Very nice. Thank you.
Luv ya, Emma..! Keep traveling.
Thanks for the video
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.)
Now I hav added this to my bucket list . So beautiful and you too are beautiful.
oh wow this is so cool!!!!!! Love your vids
Wow, what a fascinating trip and a superb video, thank you! I loved the parks and gardens but would hate the crowds and heat.
❤️❤️❤️
This video was great - totally mesmerizing. Very good commentary, helpful hints plus well filmed. Thanks so much
You are so kind, Thank you! 😁❤️
Your video here was so much fun❤❤
I’m so jealous everything looks so beautiful
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
That drone show BLEW MY MIND. Have you ever seen anything like it?! 😅😃
There are so many incredible places to visit by ship, here's a few of my favourites:
- Cruising into the Arctic Circle: th-cam.com/video/bH7WapVQ8po/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t0q0PXYjfxDIr-m6
- I visited 27 of Britains best sites: th-cam.com/video/tvAZK5KePQ8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7mUTykxIuY94qmRW
- Cruising across Germany, cycling everyday: th-cam.com/video/jPDUwRzpFXU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GVATSTj1OCJEas0h
Wonderful video! It won't be the same as seeing it in person, but do a search for 'chinese dragon drone show.' Simply amazing.
I recommend them these are all great videos !
Hopefully, my friends will be Cruising with MSC Oct next year and I can't wait.

This looks fantastic!!! I really want to put this in my bucket list! Really enjoyable video.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
After seeing this video ,Asia and Japan are on my bucket list. Beautiful video 😊
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 😊❤
Welcome to Singapore!
Always wanted to go to Tokyo
You've gotta, it's the BEST!!
Great video Emma, thank you ❤

I must go to Tokyo! Thank you Emma!
That was a terrific review … well done !
Thank you! 😁❤️
Great video Emma, love this trip 🎉
Thank you! 😁❤️
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.
First time viewer - Emma is very likeable and charming. Thanks for being unpretentious.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
very informative and fun, thank you!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Beautiful🤩
thank you Emma ❤
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

I visited Japan recently on a foodie trip. I completely agree with you Emma, the toilets are fantastic!
The best!! ❤️
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 ❤️🤎👻🎃🍂💛🍃🍃👻🤎🖤🧡🎃🍃
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises Always hugs 🥰
I went to Singapore as well as Hong Kong once in the early 1990s. I visited via a ship, only my ship was painted grey and did not have very nice amenities. ;)
Excellent video Emma
OMG! The design inside and out are absolutely breathtaking and so amazing and gorgeous 🖤❤️🎃🤎👻🍁👻💛🍃🧡👻🍃
So much!!
@@EmmaCruises Totally! 😀
I was in Japan a few months ago and was also struck by the adorable little boxy cars. Looks like a great trip. Singapore is the most humid/tropical place I have ever been. And I spent 4 years at uni in Florida.
Really? It's that bad? That's unbelievable! ;)
