COSTA LAUNCHES NEW JAPAN AND SOUTH-EAST ASIA CRUISES
In winter 2025-26 Costa Serena will offer two new 15-day itineraries in Asia, with flights from Europe. The first will explore Japan, with no less than five different destinations, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea; the second will visit Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines.
Genoa, 4 July 2024 - Costa Crociere S.p.A. presents a major innovation for winter 2025/26, with two new itineraries entirely dedicated to Asia.
In addition to the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arab Emirates, South America and Around the World cruise, from November 2025 to January 2026 the Italian company will offer the opportunity to visit some of Asia's most beautiful destinations from the unique perspective of the sea, on board the Costa Serena, with maximum comfort, thanks to the 'fy&cruise' formula, which will allow guests to fly to embark on the ship leaving directly from the main European cities.
The Costa Serena's first itinerary is focused on Japan. A 15-day journey through the Orient, to the Empire of the Rising Sun, discovering ceremonial traditions, golden temples, and lush Zen gardens, with a taste of modern history in the big cities. The full itinerary includes Hong Kong, Keelung (Taiwan), Naha (Japan), Kagoshima (Japan), Tokyo (Japan), Kobe (Japan), Nagasaki (Japan), Busan (South Korea), Hong Kong.
The second itinerary, also of 15 days, is an immersion in South-East Asia. From the boundless fields of Vietnam to the temples and golden beaches of Thailand, the ultra-modern skylines of Singapore, all the green nature of the Philippines and Brunei, discovering mosques and local handicrafts. The destinations included in this itinerary are Hong Kong, Nha Trang (Vietnam), Phu My (Vietnam), Koh Samui (Thailand), Singapore, Bandar Seri Begawan (Brunei), with a 12-hour long stopover, Puerto Princesa, Palawan (Philippines), Hong Kong.

Cruises in Japan will be available from 21 November 2025 to 30 January 2026, embarking from Hong Kong and Tokyo, and will alternate with those in South-East Asia, which instead offer embarkation from Hong Kong and Singapore.
The two itineraries can be combined into a single 28-night holiday, visiting all 14 destinations on the two routes. The ideal solution, for example, to celebrate the end of 2025 and the beginning of the New Year. In addition, there will be the possibility of extending your stay in the destinations by choosing the dates of the flights of your preference, independently of those determined for the cruise.
Alternatively, for those with less time, it is also possible to book just one week of either itinerary. Before setting sail for these new Asian cruises, Costa Serena will undergo significant renovations, making the onboard experience even more exceptional.
Costa's Asian cruises are already available for booking through travel agencies or directly on the website www.costacrociere.it.
