46 days, one-way from Hong Kong to San Antonio

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 46 nights from Hong Kong on October 23, 2026, visiting Subic Bay Freeport, Boracay Island and Puerto Princesa, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. The sailing ends in San Antonio. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Hong Kong, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The route threads through 10 countries along the Australia & New Zealand coast: Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, United Kingdom and Chile. People come back from this cruise talking about Sydney: Where the Opera House meets the harbour. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Serena carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Hong Kong itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 17 ports, 10 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
