[quote=JOHNWOODS,228128]I'm spending 5 weeks in China this summer and I want to continue my travels into Japan afterwards. The problem is flying into Japan costs around £400 (or more!). I have seen that you can get a ferry from Shanghai (with the Shanghai Ferry Company) for £110 for a 1st class cabin. This seems a lot better value and the extra time isn't a problem. I do have some questions however and I'd really appreciate some advice: 1. Is it possible to buy a ticket once I arrive in Shanghai? (I will be there around 1 week before departing to Japan). If so, where can I buy a ticket? Can I just buy 1 ticket rather than having to fill a cabin? 2. How safe is it to travel? ie. is it overcrowded? etc. How safe is my luggage? 3. Does the boat still leave Shanghai on tuesdays and arrive in Osaka on thursdays? 4. How expensive is the food/drink onboard? Thanks a lot John[/quote]
