Docking ? Kobe, Kyoto, and Osaka Japan

[kayakcove]

Thought about putting this question in roll call area, but think it impacts several sailings. I saw a posting indicating the Osaka - Tempozan Passenger Terminal is closed until April 2024. We are on the ‘Best of Japan’ October 12th sailing.  They made a change in the itinerary between Kobe and Kyoto, which got me looking closer looking for port information. 

Does anyone know where we will actually dock for those stops which also cover Osaka? Thinking terms of excursion options other than Celebrity offerings which seem to be limited.

According CruiseMapper website you will be docking at the Kobe port.  I am on the sailing the 24th and that is where we are docking also.

In 2018 the Millennium docked in Kobe.

Does your sailing show them as different stops?   As of now our itinerary show them as different stops. Below is copy from 'manage your booking'.  The times do match up with Cruisemapper.

We are there only 1 night.  I would still go by what cruise mapper is showing they have the cruise port information.  Also based on everything I have seen Osaka port is not open currently and probably will not be until next year.

I was just reviewing the roll call for the September 30 sailing with the same itinerary and sounds like they are showing the same times, but also as 2 stops in their Celebrity info.  I will ask my TA to double check. They have shown as 2 stops since I switched to Milli last year after they dropped Solstice in Asia.

Also affecrs us Oct 2024, but perhaps could br different by then.

As previously mentioned, in 2018 we docked in Kobe.  Took the Speed Train to Kyoto for the day, and then took the train to Osaka for a half day.  I think we took a cab to the train station in Kobe.

Does anyone know which port the Millennium Kobe ship docks at? Port liner terminal or Nakia pier terminal?

 As best I have been able to determine Millennium will dock at the Kobe Port Terminal.
