East Sea Ribbons – Sasebo & Shanghai

About this cruise

It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 4 nights from Busan on September 2, 2026, visiting Sasebo, Shanghai and Jeju Island. You finish in Jeju Island. With 3 port days and barely any sea days, it's maximum time on land. It's a proper Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan tour: 3 countries, from Japan to South Korea. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Serena: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
