The Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth (JASDFW) has announced a special partnership with Japanet America, offering travelers exclusive benefits for the 2026 Journey Japan Luxury Cruise. This 15-day cruise presents two carefully curated itineraries—the All Japan Tour and the Western Japan Tour—each blending iconic destinations with lesser-traveled regions for a deeply enriching experience.
Both journeys include 10 nights aboard a luxury vessel, visits to multiple ports across Japan with one stop in South Korea, and pre- and post-cruise hotel stays in Yokohama, Kamakura, Tokyo, and Hakone. As part of this partnership, JASDFW is offering exclusive perks: a 5% discount code (JASDFW2026), a complimentary "Japanese for Travelers" workshop valued at $120, and a one-year JASDFW membership with each booking.
"We are excited to provide our community with a unique and immersive way to experience Japan," said Lawrence P. Howorth, Chair of the Board of Directors of JASDFW. "This cruise offers a perfect balance of comfort, cultural enrichment, and unforgettable exploration—and our exclusive perks add even more value to the journey."
The cruise itineraries showcase destinations ranging from major cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama to quieter, culturally rich regions including Sado Island, Amami Oshima, Matsuyama, and Hakodate. With limited passenger capacity, curated shore excursions, upscale dining, and 24-hour room service, travelers can explore Japan at a relaxed pace while enjoying world-class amenities. The trip's combination of iconic landmarks and lesser-known locations provides a unique opportunity for travelers seeking a deep, meaningful experience of Japan beyond typical fast-paced tours.
More information about the cruise and detailed itineraries can be found at the Japanet America website and in the official cruise brochure. This partnership underscores JASDFW's commitment to fostering cultural exchange between North Texas and Japan, offering members and travelers a unique avenue for exploration and understanding.
