About Aomori
Aomori is best known for its spectacular Nebuta Matsuri Festival, held from 2nd to 7th August. This vibrant event draws crowds eager to see huge, illuminated floats depicting fierce samurai warriors paraded through the streets after dark. One of Japan’s largest festivals, Nebuta Matsuri celebrates the exhilaration of victory after battle, resulting in an atmosphere far livelier and louder than many other Japanese festivals. Dancers called haneto run alongside the floats, performing energetic, wild dances—and visitors are warmly encouraged to join in the fun. Outside festival time, Aomori offers fresh delights from the sea, including the renowned Oma no Maguro tuna, alongside local fruits and vegetables, especially garlic. Each summer, the town bursts into life for this unforgettable celebration, where traditional order gives way to exuberance and joy, making Aomori a thrilling stop for cruise travellers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
