Cruise Express Managing Director Meg Hill said Australians’ love affair with Japan was blossoming and this package offered the best of the ‘land of the rising sun’ for travellers wanting the ultimate Japanese experience.
“Visiting Japan during the cherry blossom season is on the top of many travellers’ bucket lists but we’re taking it even further with this package to make sure our guests tick off all the highlights of Japan in one incredible tour,” Meg said.
“With such beautiful culture, cuisine, people and places, it’s no wonder a record number of Australians are visiting Japan, and while the Aussie dollar is performing strongly against the yen, it’s a great time to visit to get more bang for your buck.”
