When does Celebrity Millennium visit Shimizu?
40 calls on our list for 2026 and 2027: 27 Mar 2026, 29 Mar 2026, 20 Apr 2026, 22 Apr 2026, 13 May 2026 and 35 more. Dates in 2027 are the cruise line’s published itinerary until the port committee confirms them, about a month ahead.
What time does Celebrity Millennium arrive in Shimizu?
On the next call (Thu, 15 Oct 2026) she is in port 07:00–18:00. That leaves about 9.5 usable hours ashore once you allow 30 minutes to get off and are back on board 60 minutes before departure.
Where does Celebrity Millennium dock in Shimizu?
The port committee lists Hinode No.2 Pier for 15 Oct. Most ships use Hinode Pier, a 12-minute walk from S-Pulse Dream Plaza and about 27 minutes from the Kashi-no-Ichi fish market. On busy days a ship can be sent to Okitsu, a container berth you cannot walk out of — then the shuttle bus is the only way into town.
Which tours fit a Celebrity Millennium call?
On a 07:00–18:00 call: Mt. Fuji & Miho no Matsubara: The Guided Four Hours; Mt. Fuji View Customized Tour with a Licensed Guide; Shimizu Private Custom Tour with a Local Guide. Each is checked against the tour's own start times and her arrival and departure, with the hour before all-aboard kept free.
