5 days, round-trip Asia from Keelung Taipei

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from July 21, 2026 and this cruise from Keelung will do the rest, taking you to Hakata (Fukuoka) and Busan and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Street food that'll ruin you for takeaway back home, ancient shrines, and cities that run like clockwork. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Hakata (Fukuoka), Tonkotsu ramen capital of Kyushu. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
