Group Cruise Details:

This is a group cruise hosted by Beth Thorner of Simple Traveler Vacations. What does that mean? It means you’ll be traveling as part of a thoughtfully hosted group. There are no rigid schedules or being rushed from place to place, just extra guidance and support built right in. Our hosted trips are designed for travelers who appreciate having key details handled in advance, enjoy the option of shared experiences that still allow for independent exploration, all with the convenience of an experienced host who is there when needed. As someone who has traveled Japan multiple times, I'm so excited to share all the ins and outs from language, customs, local eats, transportation, and more!
