Dear members

It gives me great pleasure to now be able to give you full details our first Bailliage of Australia Chaîne Cruise.

From April 18-27, 2026, the cruise will be visiting wonderful and interesting ports in Japan and Korea.

Our 10-day voyage onboard “Crystal Symphony” starts in Tokyo and finishes at Incheon. First, we spend a relaxing day at sea, heading west to Kobe, famous with foodies and perfectly positioned if you wish to visit the city of Kyoto. We continue to Kochi, with its Shogun castle, before sailing to poignant Hiroshima. Our next port of call is Moji, with its historic waterfront and fascinating museum of art. Heading north, we reach South Korea, a society that offers visitors ancient and modern delights, calling in at Yeosu and Jeju island before disembarking at Incheon near Seoul.

The Crystal team are excited to host the Chaîne. There will be bespoke dining experiences, a Masquerade Cocktail party and a Gala Dinner following an Induction Ceremony for our members and much more.
