With over one million Australian visitors hitting Japan’s shores in 2025, it’s clear that our love affair with the Land of the Rising Sun is not slowing down.
And with over 29,000 travellers booking this 16 Day Unforgettable Japan tour, you can rest easy knowing that your expectations will not only be met, but exceeded. Not least because it’ll cost you less than $5,000 thanks to a rare double deal.

This brings your total down to $4796 per person.
It’s not the only deal from Inspiring Vacations, either. If you’re thinking about America, both North and South America tours have been slashed by up to 20 per cent, and for anyone keen to submit their annual leave, tours departing before June 30, 2026 are 15 per cent off with the code LATE15.

Over 4000 travellers have hopped on this “excellent” and “well-planned” adventure with one in particular gobsmacked by their experience: “Honestly, you guys undersell yourselves and your service,” they said. “We thought the tour was excellent. I kept thinking “they should have told us this” because there was so much good stuff that we didn’t expect. I wanted to make a video of the whole thing to show how good it was.”
17 Day 5 Star Memoirs Of Sapa, Vietnam And Cambodia Premium Small Group Tour, $4595 per person (typically $4970). Plus extra 5 per cent off with code SIZZLE5
Vietnam is rising in popularity for Aussies and it’s easy to see why.

For all the highlights you can’t go wrong with this 17 Day tour, which starts with an overnight cruise of Halong Bay, before whisking you through Hanoi, Sapa, Da Nang, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City.
Then, there’s the side trip to Vietnam’s neighbours Cambodia for a historical trip through to Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh.
We’re loving the offer of optional tours where you can experience a Hanoi Puppet Show, Hoi An Memories Show or spend a day along the Instagram-worthy Golden Bridge and Bana Hills, as well as the option to upgrade your flights to Singapore Airlines from just $200 per person.

One word: perks. On top of the including international flights, pre- and post-stay accommodations, and 12 night cruise, you’ll get to tap into Norwegian Cruise Lines’ famous Free at Sea perks. That’s a premium beverage package, specialty dining package, shore excursion credit and wifi package.
Cabin upgrades from an inside stateroom to a room with ocean views start at $1300 per person, though if that’s beyond your budget, this package also comes with a free balcony room upgrade in Waikiki at the end of your holiday.

From there you’ll discover the dots in the ocean, hopping from Noumea to Lifou to Port Vila to Mystery Island, before taking a tour of Fiji’s finest islands. And because you should never return to reality earlier than required, a four-star hotel awaits in Lautoka where you’ll have two days to soak up the sights, the beaches and the poolside cocktails before flying back to Sydney.
