26 days, one-way from Sydney to San Antonio

About this cruise

26 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Sydney on November 12, 2026 and the route takes you through Noumea, Lifou Island and Suva, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands at a pace where there's never any need to rush. The sailing ends in San Antonio. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 9 port calls start. Crossing 7 borders through the Pacific Islands: New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, United Kingdom and Chile. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Suva: Fiji's colonial-era capital of multicultural charm. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 9 ports, 7 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
