51 days, one-way from Tokyo to San Antonio
About this cruise
Block out 51 nights from October 18, 2026 and let this sailing from Tokyo do its thing. The route covers Keelung, Hong Kong and Subic Bay Freeport, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You get off in San Antonio, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. 12 countries (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, United Kingdom and Chile) across the Australia & New Zealand, each with its own character. Don't rush through Sydney, which is known as 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. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 19 ports across 51 nights covers a lot.
