East China Tide – Keelung & Sasebo

About this cruise

3 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Naha on August 10, 2026 visits Keelung and Sasebo and you'll feel it from day one. You wind up in Sasebo, so it's worth planning a night or two there. It splits nicely: 2 days seeing places and 1 days doing nothing at all. Tokyo's neon at one port, Kyoto's temples at the next. You cover centuries in a few days. When you're not ashore, Costa Serena holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Naha has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
