Pacific Drift – Papeete & Easter Island
About this cruise
A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 26 nights from Sydney on November 12, 2026, visiting Noumea, Lifou Island and Suva, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands. Last stop: San Antonio. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 7 countries along the Pacific Islands coast: New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, United Kingdom and Chile. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. 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. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
