Because this is an extraordinary trip, payments for airline tickets, shore excursions, and any additional expenses will be made in phases. While exact amounts aren’t set yet, a reasonable estimate has been included for the airlines tickets which are estimated to be $1200 for Premium Economy seats.
Don’t worry—there’s plenty of time to plan! I’ll provide a monthly payment schedule to keep everything on track.
To ensure you’re fully prepared, we’ll have (3) Zoom meetings starting in spring 2026 to walk through the details and answer all your questions. Plus, I’ll be traveling with this group, so whether it’s your first cruise or your tenth, you’ll have an expert by your side every step of the way.

Tokyo (Days 1, 10)
Even though Tokyo is among the largest, most frenetic cities in the world, it's still able to maintain a great deal of efficiency and charm. Amid the endless buzzing neon signs and the overhead cable webs, Tokyo is home to some of the world's most impressive architecture, stylish shops and 4-star restaurants. But just a short distance outside the clamor of the city is a whole different world. In the surrounding small towns and villages you'll get a glimpse into Japan's rich culture and traditions. Here you'll discover scores of wooden residential homes, ancient temples, shrines and imperial gardens. From the frenzy-filled metropolis to the tranquil bonsai-tree-lined neighborhoods, Tokyo is truly a study in delightful contrasts.
Tokyo has so many incredible things for a visitor to see and do there just isn't time to do it all. But if you want to experience the true heart and soul of Tokyo, a visit to Kokyo, Japan's Imperial Palace, is a must. This magnificent, awe-inspiring edifice is an architectural marvel and home to the Emperor of Japan. Another cultural and architectural landmark not to be missed is the Sensoji Temple. Built in the 7th century, this is Tokyo's oldest and most significant Buddhist temple. This site is very popular with tourists, so plan to visit early. There are a number of traditional shops and restaurants nearby if the lines are long.
