Japan is one of the most popular destinations for Australians this year and a new offer of free return flights to Japan from Australian boutique cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, makes the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ even more alluring.
The free flight offer applies to three, all-inclusive Japan cruises this July and August with the country’s own luxury cruise line, Mitsui Ocean Cruises, represented exclusively in Australia by Cruise Traveller.
One of the voyages is an eight-night Japan cruise from Yokohama sailing on August 8, 2026, which blends Japan’s glorious culture, history, and coastal beauty in one luxurious and seamless journey.
Sailing aboard the elegant, 458-guest Mitsui Ocean Fuji, formerly Seabourn Odyssey, guests will embark on a deeply enriching exploration of Japan’s coastline, travelling to culturally significant ports, ancient temples, timeless gardens and modern cities that bridge tradition and high-tech innovation.
“Nobody knows Japan like the country’s own Mitsui Ocean Cruises which offers a completely bespoke way of discovering the country’s ancient and modern wonders on unique journeys imbued with depth, discovery, enrichment and also value-for-money,” said Cruise Traveller Managing Director, Joe O’Sullivan.
“Unlike a typical cruise around Japan, a journey with Mitsui Ocean Cruises is a curated, cultural discovery experience, blending small-ship intimacy and personal service with meaningful encounters and authentic local insight, appealing not only to cruise travellers, but also to lovers of culture, history, cuisine, nature, and small-group exploration.”
The cruise aboard Mitsui Ocean Fuji from Yokohama on August 8, 2026, takes in Wakayama and its many Buddhist temples nestled amongst ancient cedar forests, the famous seafood markets of Busan in South Korea, the magnificent feudal castles and historic hot springs of Matsuyama and an extended stay in Komatsushima with its many mountain shrines. The cruise ends in Tokyo.

The eight-night cruise is available from A$8520 per person, twin-share, in an Oceanview Suite including excursions, selected onboard beverages and Wi-Fi. Book through Cruise Traveller by June 30, 2026, to receive free return flights to Tokyo from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. The free return flight offer also applies to two nine-night sailings with Mitsui Ocean Cruises departing on July 30 and August 16, 2026.
