Pacific Odyssey – Tokyo, Sydney & Hong Kong

About this cruise

Block out 51 nights from January 3, 2027 and let this sailing from San Francisco do its thing. The route covers Honolulu, Hilo and Papeete, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. The trip wraps in Hong Kong, so you won't retrace your steps. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. 10 countries (United States, French Polynesia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong) across the Australia & New Zealand, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Lifou Island: New Caledonia's cliffside paradise of vanilla. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Deliziosa carries 2,260 guests across 12 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 51 nights well spent.
