What a trip!!! IGLU are fantastic at tailor making. Starting from the flights to the transfers to the hotel. The Savoy hotel in Buenos Aires was fantastic. Great location in the City. And the cruise on Sapphire Princess. Wonderful ship, great size, delicious food, very attentive service!!!! Didn’t want to come home 😀

Food wasn't great, poor variety and quality. Have been on many Princess cruises and this was the worst for food.
The itinerary included too many industrial Ports, with limited access to the local area.
Main theatre entertainment was poor, with mind readers, jugglers, sand dancers, magicians. Really, thought we'd gladly left all that behind in the 1970's & 80's. To be fair, individual entertainment around the ship was often very good.

Description
A historic port city in central Japan, Toba is an interesting cruise destination in Mie Prefecture within the Ise-Shima National Park – meaning incredible landscapes are everywhere you look. Once the castle town of the region’s rulers under the Tokugawa shogunate, the Kuki family, and an area of Japan that has been continually inhabited since before the Jomon Period began (14,000 BC to 300 BC), this city is history-rich and a fantastic port of call on any Japan-bound adventure. While here, you’ll have the chance to explore the Mikimoto Pearl Island, regarded as the birthplace of the cultured pearl aquaculture, museums exploring the maritime history of the region, and impressive shrines – all while enjoying authentic Japanese culture and cuisine.
Known as the Floating Castle of Toba and the Two-color Castle during the Tokugawa shogunate, Toba Castle (which is now in ruins) sits in central Toba with its entrance facing the sea. Built in 1594 by Kuki Yoshitaka and used throughout the Edo period, the castle was significantly damaged during one of the Ansei great earthquakes in 1854 and ordered demolished by the Meiji government in 1871.
Yokoyama Observatory
Just a short drive from Toba city centre, Yokoyama Observatory sits atop Mount Yokoyama in Shima and boasts some of the best views of Ago Bay and the entire Ise-Shima National Park available. With three refurbished viewing platforms and café facilities, you’re not going to forget the stunning panoramic views of this vibrant region.
Ise Shrine
Inland from Toba, the Ise Shrine is one of the most important Shinto sites in Japan, with the complex focused around the Naiku (dedicated to Amaterasu) and Geku (dedicated to Toyouke-Omikami) shrines. Established in 4 BC, according to legend, tourists are only actually allowed to visit the ornamental walkways in the woodlands surrounding the Ise Shrine – it’s that holy – and it marks the end of a pilgrimage known as Sangu. Within the Ise Shrine complex, there are 125 shrines.

Matsuyama is a captivating blend of feudal history and therapeutic tradition located on the scenic coast of Shikoku. The city is crowned by the majestic Matsuyama Castle, one of Japan’s few remaining original Edo-era keeps, which offers sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea from its hilltop perch. At the base of the mountains lies the legendary Dogo Onsen, Japan's oldest hot spring, whose iconic wooden bathhouse served as a primary inspiration for the film Spirited Away. Whether you are riding the nostalgic Botchan Train through the downtown streets or exploring the mysterious cave temples of Ishite ji, Matsuyama provides a soulful experience of Japanese culture, further enriched by its status as a "Citrus Kingdom" where fresh mikan juice flows as freely as its healing waters.
Matsuyama Castle is one of Japan’s most prestigious historical landmarks, distinguished as one of only twelve castles nationwide to retain its original feudal keep. Perched atop Mount Katsuyama, the fortress is a defensive masterpiece featuring complex gates and turrets that offer sweeping views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea. Whether you choose to hike the wooded trails or take the scenic open-air chairlift to the summit, the castle provides a rare opportunity to explore authentic Edo-period architecture and samurai heritage. In the spring, the grounds transform into a stunning floral canopy, as hundreds of cherry trees bloom across the ancient stone ramparts.
The Botchan Train
The Botchan Train is a charming, retro style replica of a small steam locomotive that clatters through the streets of Matsuyama. Named after the beloved novel by Natsume Soseki, the train features vintage wooden carriages and conductors dressed in period uniforms, offering a nostalgic journey back to the Meiji era. While the modern version is cleverly powered by eco friendly diesel, it still produces a whistle and theatrical plumes of steam, making it a favorite sight as it travels between the city center and the historic Dogo Onsen district.
Ishite-ji Temple
Ishite ji Temple is the most eccentric and mysterious stop on the 88 temple Shikoku Pilgrimage, famous for its surreal atmosphere and sacred legends. Beyond its National Treasure gate, the temple’s most captivating feature is a dark, 200 metre limestone tunnel lined with hundreds of flickering Buddha statues that lead to a hidden inner sanctuary. With its massive straw sandals, golden hilltop statues, and slightly rebellious spirit, Ishite ji offers a fascinating glimpse into the more mystical side of Japanese Buddhism just a short walk from the historic Dogo Onsen.

Aburatsu is a historic port town in Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, that flourished during the early 20th century as a major hub for the charcoal and lumber trade. The town is famous for the Horikawa Canal, a scenic waterway lined with stone walls and red-brick warehouses that reflect its prosperous Meiji era past. Today, it serves as a popular gateway for large cruise ships, offering visitors a charming mix of retro architecture and local culture. Sports fans also know it well as the spring training base for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team, with the "Carp Road" painted in vibrant red leading from the station to the stadium.
A visit to Heiwadai Park (Peace Tower Park) in Miyazaki offers a blend of grand architecture and intriguing ancient history. The park's most dominant feature is the Peace Tower, a massive 37-metre stone structure built in 1940 using stones sent from all over Asia. Just behind the tower lies the eerie yet fascinating Haniwa Garden, where over 400 clay replica burial statues depicting warriors, dancers, and animals are scattered throughout a lush forest setting. The park is also known for its unique "echo point" in front of the tower, where a sharp clap produces a strangely amplified sound, making it a popular spot for both quiet reflection and curious exploration.
Obi Castle Town
A visit to Obi Castle Town, often called the "Little Kyoto of Kyushu," feels like stepping back into the Edo period. As you wander through the historic district, you’re surrounded by moss covered stone walls, traditional samurai residences, and the grand Obi Castle gate, reconstructed using the region's famous Obi cedar. The town is unique for its peaceful atmosphere, where clear water runnels filled with colourful koi carp flow alongside the quiet streets. To complete the experience, many visitors use an "eat-around" map to sample local delicacies like Obi-ten (sweet fried fish cakes) and thick, custard-like Obi-厚焼き (atsuyaki) tamago while exploring the town's elegant gardens and museums.
Udo-jingu Shrine
A visit to Udo-jingu Shrine is a visually stunning experience, as it is one of the few Shinto shrines in Japan built inside a massive cave on a sheer cliffside. To reach it, you follow a dramatic path down bright vermilion-painted stairs that contrast sharply with the jagged rocks and the crashing blue waves of the Pacific below. Once inside the cool, cavernous space, you can pay your respects at the main sanctum, which is dedicated to the father of Japan’s first emperor. Before leaving, it is a tradition to buy "undama" (lucky ceramic pebbles) and attempt to toss them into a water-filled depression on the back of a turtle-shaped rock below the cliff; landing one inside is said to make your wishes come true.
