Northern Aurora Posted March 26 #4 Share Posted March 26 We are presently in Yokohama for a few days before boarding the Millennium for a B2B. For the March 28 cruise we will be embarking using the Daikoku Pier but will disembark at the Osanbashi Pier on April 9. For the April 9 cruise we will be using Osanbsahi to also disembark. Celebrity sent out an express notification for clarification. We were also B2B on the Millennium in 2018 and only used the Osanbashi Pier. Pay attention to your e-docs.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Yokohama port location does Celebrity Millenium use for deparkation? Why are there two ports to use??? There are actually 4 different cruise piers used by international cruise ships calling at Tokyo / Yokohama. 1. Harumi Terminal. Located at the Olympic Village in downtown Tokyo. This is the most convenient pier, but can only handle ships small enough to fit under the Rainbow Bridge. 2. New Tokyo International Cruise Terminal. Located next to Haneda Airport, just North of Yokohama. This is the largest and newest Terminal in the Tokyo area. It handles cruise ships too large to fit under the Rainbow Bridge into Tokyo Bay. 3. Daikoku Cargo Pier. This is the least convenient cruise pier, located on an artificial island in Yokohama Bay. It is used by ships that are too large to fit under the Yokohama Bay Bridge, or when Osanbashi Terminal in Yokohama is full. 4. Osanbashi Terminal in Yokohama. The main downtown terminal in Yokohama. Why so many terminals? Japan is an island nation, with frequent ship visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three cruise terminals in City of Tokyo: Tokyo International, Harumi and Oi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harumi cruise terminal has been demolished and the pier is no longer used for cruise ships. Tokyo also has Hinode Cruise Terminal. But Oi and Hinode are used primarily for river and bay cruises.

Yokohama Port authority web site showing Shinko is active for smaller cruise ships. HAL Westerdam docked at Shinko on 27th April. After Tokyo Olympics, Tokyo International is City of Tokyo primary cruise terminal. Oi is a container terminal with 6 berths used as secondary.

If you stay at the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 Hotel, you won't miss your cruise.😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
