At 54, Jane Mwangi is preparing for her second cruise, this time from Seattle to Tokyo, with five close friends, all her age. Their 16-day journey aboard the Norwegian Sun starts in Juneau, Alaska, and will take them across the Pacific Ocean to Japan, with a stop at Petropavlovsk in eastern Russia.
“Last time, I enjoyed a whale-watching tour in Petropavlovsk. This time, I don’t know what to expect in Japan or Tokyo. It’s my first cruise to that part of the world,” says Jane.
