Costa Cruises 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 'fly&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 available, it is also possible to purchase just one week of either  itinerary.  

Before setting sail on these new cruises in Asia, the Costa Serena will undergo major renovation works  that will further enhance the onboard experience.  

Costa cruises in Asia are already available for booking in travel agencies or directly at  costacruise.com.
