We’ve been on many Asian cruises before, with usual sailings from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Shanghai. But last October 2025, we finally got to sail directly from Manila to Okinawa in Japan aboard Costa Serena, an Italy-flagged cruise ship that usually sails around Europe and South America.
Here’s the good news! Because of the strong interest, the cruise line decided to extend its special chartered trips in Asia from Manila this year! That means more chances to experience cruising without the additional step of booking a flight to Singapore, Hong Kong, or Shanghai.
From February to March 2026, Costa Serena will be sailing from Manila to Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, and back! Originally, there were only three routes available, but due to high demand, a fourth route was added: 8D/7N Manila-Naha-Kaohsiung-Manila, sailing from March 19 to 26, 2026.
In this post, we’ll focus on Route 4, and we’ll walk you through the whole experience, from pre-boarding to disembarkation. Hopefully, this gives you a good idea of what it’s like to join a cruise that sails straight from the Philippines.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! If your are traveling soon and still on the planning stage, you can also visit our The Poor Traveler Masterlist. Here, we compiled travel essentials, including immigration requirements and all our recommended hotels and tours. Just visit this page: TPT Masterlist. We have a compilation for destinations around the world.

DAY 1: EMBARKATION & SAILING
This is D-Day!
You’re finally boarding Costa Serena! Before embarking on this fun adventure, make sure all the necessary documents are ready, and your essentials are packed. We have a separate, more detailed article on that here: What to Pack for a Costa Serena Cruise from Manila
Embarkation
Alright! Here’s how the embarkation or boarding process from Manila usually goes:
- Baggage Drop-off. Your first stop is at Quirino Grandstand, where you’ll drop off your luggage at the designated area. Follow your assigned embarkation time, which is based on your deck number.
- Holding Area. After handing over your bags, proceed to the Guest Holding/Waiting Area, where you’ll wait for your turn to get on a shuttle service.
- Eva Macapagal Terminal. The shuttle bus will take you to Eva Macapagal Super Terminal.
- Security Check. Once at the terminal, you’ll go through the security screening for your carry-on bags. Remember that liquids should be 100ml or less.
- Check-in Counter. After security, head to the designated check-in counter. This is where your details are verified and where you’ll receive your Costa Card, which also serves as your onboard ID, payment card, and cabin key.
- Immigration Clearance. Then, board the ship and proceed to immigration clearance. Present your passport and eTravel Departure form.
- Welcome to Costa Serena!
Aboard Costa Serena
Now that you’re on the ship, here are the things to do after boarding.
- Welcome Buffet. While waiting for your luggage to arrive, feel free to have your first meal on the ship at Prometeo, where you’ll find the welcome buffet.
- Head to Your Cabin. Once cabins are available, you can make your way to yours. You can pick up your luggage on the way there. The checked bags are usually placed in the area between the elevator and staircase near your cabin.
- Mandatory Safety Drill. And of course, there’s the mandatory safety drill. Everyone is required to attend this. Check your Costa Card for your assigned Muster Station and follow the crew’s instructions. Don’t forget to bring your life vest, which you’ll find in your cabin.
- Link Credit Card to Costa Card. To link your credit card to your Costa card, find a Costa Card kiosk. You can ask one of the staff or check the map on your Costa app. We spotted one at the midship on Deck 5, near the Galleria Shops. You can do this within 24 hours after boarding. You can also add your other companions’ Costa cards to your credit card.
After checking all the boxes, you can go to one of the bars to relax, watch a show, attend an evening party, or call it a night.
DAY 2 – 3: HIGH SEAS
You’ll be spending your Days 2 and 3 at sea because the first port of call is in Naha in Okinawa, Japan, which is almost 800 nautical miles away from the Port of Manila. This is the best time to explore the ship’s amenities and check out available activities.
Costa Serena has 13 passenger decks, and using the Costa App will make getting around easier, with its deck map and directory feature, among others.
Included Dining Spots
And what better way to start your exploration than to eat?
Costa Serena offers two kinds of onboard dining — complimentary and specialty restaurants. Complimentary meals are already included in your cruise fare. That means you don’t have to pay for anything — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, remember these complimentary restaurants on board:
- Ristorante Vesta. A two-level dining room that offers open seating for breakfast and lunch and assigned seating for dinner. There are times when the second level is reserved for suite guests only, so best to check the directory or the app for updates. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes are available. Location: Deck 3 (Aries) – Deck 4 (Orion), Midship
- Ristorante Ceres. Twin dining room of Ristorante Vesta, it also has two levels with open seating during breakfast and lunch, then assigned seating at dinner. Location: Deck 3 (Aries) – Deck 4 (Orion), Aft
- Prometeo Buffet Restaurant. This is a self-service buffet restaurant, serving a wide array of food choices, from appetizers to desserts. Location: Deck 9 (Libra) – Deck 10 (Taurus), Aft
Onboard Swimming Pools
After filling your belly with your choice of breakfast, you’ll have plenty of activities to choose from, including swimming in one of the three pools, or better yet, sliding from the top deck to the Iris Pool! Costa Serena’s Toboga or waterslide is perfect for kids and kids at heart. If sliding and swimming are your thing, here are the onboard places to remember:
- Toboga. The starting point is on Deck 13/14, while the landing pool is on Deck 11. Location: Deck 13/14 (Vela) – Deck 11 (Virgo), Forward
- Lido Iris Pool Area. It is the landing pool for Serena’s Waterslide. It has one whirlpool. Location: Deck 11 (Virgo), Midship
- Lido Sole Pool Area. The pool also features two whirlpools and an outdoor LED screen. Location: Deck 9 (Libra), Midship
- Lido Urano Pool Area. The pool also comes with two whirlpools. Location: Deck 9 (Libra), Aft
- Lido Squok. Kiddie aqua park with a wading pool and a playground area. Location: Deck 11 (Virgo), Aft
Fitness & Sports
If you are more into sports and keeping up with your fitness routine, you can head to the gym, the jogging track, the outdoor multi-sports court, or Sole Balcony. There’s also an indoor playroom for little cruisers! Here are the locations on the ship:
- Sport Area. Outdoor multi-sports court, including table tennis. Location: Deck 12 (Pegasus), Aft
- Fitness Gym. Work out with the view of the sea. Guests 16 years old and above have access. Location: Deck 11 (Virgo), Forward
Photo Credit: Costa Serena - Outdoor Jogging Track. Walking/Jogging track with sunbeds. Location: Deck 12 (Pegasus), Aft

Complimentary Shows & Evening Parties
Daily shows are available, usually in the evening. And the best part? They are free, so you don’t have to buy a ticket to watch them.
Teatro Giove is the three-level main theater, where show productions, musicals, concerts, and other performances are held. You’ll find it on the forward side of the ship, spanning decks 3 to 5. Here’s a list of shows that were available during our sailing:
- Glamazon
- Acrodreamers in “Eclissi d’amore”
- Venezia Innamorata
- EXTRALive
In addition to evening shows, your nights will also come alive with fun themed parties. You’ll get to fully embrace the atmosphere as you dress up to match each celebration and party the night away. Just to give you an idea, here are the themed parties we attended on our last cruise with Costa Serena in October 2025:
- Gala Night
- White Party
- Retro Party
- Masquerade Ball
Honestly, you’ll be the one to give up because every night is party night! These were some of the other parties that took place during that sailing:
- Revival Party
- Italian Night
- Golden Party
- Latin Party
DAY 4: NAHA, JAPAN
Touchdown Naha! On your fourth day, you’ll finally set foot in Okinawa, Japan. One of the best things about cruising is that we get to visit multiple destinations while still enjoying the comforts and amenities of the ship in between.
Okinawa Prefecture is composed of over 150 islands, with Naha as its capital. For this stop, Costa Serena’s #ChoosePremium program offers two curated tour packages.
Booking a shore excursion package guarantees that you’ll be back at the port on time, so there’s no stress about getting left behind by the ship. These tours usually include entrance fees, a local guide, and transportation. But if you’re looking to take the cheaper route, you can pull a D-I-Y.
The night before, your cabin attendant will deliver a photocopy of your passport bio page, a customs declaration form, and a slip showing your batch number, disembarkation time, and assembly station. If you’ve booked a shore excursion, ignore the batch number slip and just follow the instructions on your tour package voucher.
Don’t forget to bring your Costa card, the passport bio page photocopy, the customs declaration form, and some Japanese yen. Although there are ATMs at Naha Port, it’s always safer to have cash on hand.
It was my first time in Naha on our last Costa Serena cruise, but Yosh had already been here before. So for this port of call, we decided to explore at our own pace instead. Here’s a sample Naha itinerary you can follow:
Shuri Castle
From Naha Port, walk to Kume Koshibyo-mae Bus Stop and take Bus 5 to Kokusai Dori, the city’s main thoroughfare and tourist hub. You can explore this area later. For now, you need to hop on a bus again (Bus 14) to Shuri Castle, Naha’s most iconic landmark. The castle serves as a reminder of Okinawa’s rich history and culture and is part of the Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu, a UNESCO World Heritage status.
Shikina-en Royal Garden
After exploring the castle grounds, take Bus 14 once more to Shikina-en Royal Garden for a relaxing nature walk. This circular garden features a pond, stone bridges, a Chinese-style pavilion, and a wooden statehouse. Like Shuri Castle, it is also part of the UNESCO-recognized Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu.
Kokusai Dori
Next, make your way to your final stop. Ride Bus 2, 4, 5, or 14 back to Kokusai Dori, also known as International Street. You’ll likely spend a good amount of time here, as this will also be your stop for lunch and souvenir shopping.
While you’re here, don’t pass up the opportunity to try Okinawa soba. Unlike the soba from mainland Japan, which is made from buckwheat, this local version uses wheat flour. On our last visit, we ate at Kintiti (Kinchichi) Soba Kokusaidori Mutsumi Shokudo. I ordered the classic Pork Belly Okinawa Soba, while Yosh chose the Pork Spare Ribs Soba (Hon Soki Soba).
If you prefer ramen, check out Ramen Danbo Naha Makishi, conveniently located near JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom. To end your meal on a sweet note, grab a scoop or two of Blue Seal ice cream, a homegrown brand with several branches along Kokusai Dori.
If you want to take home some Okinawan and Japanese souvenirs, drop by Don Quijote (Donki), Heiwadori, and Shijo Hondori.
Return to Naha Port
And finally, head back to the port by bus or taxi. If you take the bus, alight at Kume Koshibyo-mae Bus Stop (Bus 5), and walk for about 10 minutes to the port. If you’re in a hurry, you can simply hail a taxi from Kokusai Dori. The taxi fare to Naha Port is ¥1200 – ¥1500.
Naha has plenty of other tourist spots. But with a cruise stop’s limited time (8-10 hours), it’s impossible to squeeze them all in. To maximize your time, it’s best to focus on Naha’s highlights. Here’s a sample itinerary you can follow.
NAHA DAY TRIP
08:45 AM – Walk to Kume Koshibyo-mae Bus Stop
09:00 AM – Bus to Kokusai-dori, ¥260 (Bus 5)
09:10 AM – Kokusai-dori to Shuri Castle, ¥260 (Bus 14)
09:30 AM – Shuri Castle, ¥400
10:30 AM – Bus to Shikina-en Royal Garden, ¥260 (Bus 14)
10:45 AM – Shikina-en Royal Garden, ¥400
12:00 PM – Bus to Kokusai-dori, ¥260 (Bus 2, 4, 5, 14)
12:20 PM – Kokusai Dori: Food Trip and Shopping
04:00 PM – Bus back to port then walk, ¥260 (Or taxi to Naha Cruise Terminal, ¥1200-1500)
If you are a party of two, this itinerary will cost you around ¥1200 (USD 14, PHP 785) each, excluding your food and shopping budget. If you decide to take a taxi back to the port, expect to spend at least ¥2590 (USD 16, PHP 972) per person.
But if you like to see other options, here’s a more detailed article: Naha Day Trip
Remember! Head back to the port by the indicated embarkation time. Always double-check the time and ensure your watch is set to the ship’s time.
Freshen Up & Dinner
After a day of exploring, take some time to rest and freshen up, then make your way to one of the onboard restaurants for dinner. If you opt to dine at a restaurant with a set menu and find that you’re still not quite full, you can order additional items from the menu or drop by the buffet at Prometeo on Deck 9.
Still have energy to spare? Catch a show or mingle with your fellow cruisers and enjoy the rest of the night.
DAY 5: HIGH SEAS
On your fifth day, you can cover other onboard services and facilities. Honestly, there’s no shortage of things to try — even when spending the whole day at sea. Here’s a quick rundown:
Other Onboard Amenities
- Spa. Onboard spa boasting hammam, sauna, and a wide array of spa treatments and massages. Location: Deck 11 (Virgo) – Deck 12 (Pegasus), Forward

- Lido Urano Bar. This bar caters to guests in the Urano Pool area. Location: Deck 9 (Libra), Aft
DAY 6: KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN
Day 6 is dedicated to Kaohsiung, your second port of call. From a small trading village in the 17th century, Kaohsiung has flourished into a major port city. Home to the Port of Kaohsiung, the busiest and largest harbor in Taiwan, it has also become a regular stop for international cruise ships.
Once you disembark, you can begin covering some of the city’s tourist spots by taking the LRT, on foot (for those who love walking), or a combination of both. But, of course, you can also choose to book a shore excursion if you’re traveling with children or elderly companions.
No matter which option you choose, you’ll receive important reminders before getting off the ship, including return instructions. Just like in Naha, don’t forget to bring your Costa card, some Taiwan dollars, and a photocopy of your passport’s bio page, too.
Kaohsiung offers a wide range of experiences, from historical and coastal attractions to ecological sites, food trips, and urban sightseeing. We’ve been to this southern Taiwan city several times, both as part of longer multi-city trips in Taiwan and as a port of call on previous cruises. We’ve also explored some of the areas close to the cruise terminal. If you prefer to do a DIY, you can follow this itinerary:
Again, you can do this route on foot, by using the LRT, or both. If your choice involves riding the train, you can refer to this KMRT Map as your guide. The LRT line is the GREEN one.
Glory Pier & Love Pier
From the Kaohsiung Port Cruise Terminal (Station C9), turn left and walk toward Glory Pier (Station C10). Then, you’ll pass by the Kaohsiung Music Center. After appreciating its architecture, continue toward the Love River and cross the bridge to reach the Love Pier (Station C11). Take in the view of the harbor, then walk onward to Pier 2 Art Center.
Pier 2 Art Center
If you’re into arts, pop culture, and Instagrammable spots, then Pier 2 Art Center (Stations C12 & C13) is your playground. Spend as much time as you can here, exploring every creative nook and cranny. You can also have your lunch here, or better yet, go on a café hopping. We’ve been here a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed wandering through the creative spaces.
Make sure to check out the view from the Great Harbor Bridge.
Hamasen Railway Cultural Park
Then, take a short walk to Hamasen Railway Cultural Park (Station C14), where you can visit the Takao Railway Museum, which features old locomotives and art installations.
Dream Mall
If you’ve had your fill of arts and culture, you can either take the LRT back to the Cruise Terminal (Station C9) already or make a stop at Dream Mall (Station C5) for souvenir shopping and another round of food trip. This mall is also home to the Kaohsiung Eye Ferris Wheel.
Cijin Island
If you still have time to spare, another option is to take the ferry at Gushan Ferry Pier, near Hamasen LRT Station, to Cijin Island. The ferry ride takes about five minutes. Here, you can visit Cijin Old Street, Kaohsiung Lighthouse, Qihou Fort, and Cijin Tunnel. The island is also known for its seafood.
Dome of Light
The Dome of Light by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata is one of the most remarkable public art installation found at Formosa Boulevard MRT Station. This artwork used colorful glass panels and steel framework to represent water (birth), earth (growth), light (glory), and fire (destruction).
If you want to include this in your itinerary, you can take the LRT from the cruise terminal (C9), then transfer to the MRT Orange Line at Hamasen Station (C14/O1). Board the MRT train bound for Daliao, and get off at Formosa Boulevard Station (O5). You’ll find the Dome of Light at B1, near exit 1 or 4.
After taking photos, you can head back to Hamasen area and begin exploring the Hamasen Railway Cultural Park. After that, you can walk toward Pier 2 Art Center, then. do the waterfront stroll along Love River, passing by Love Pier and Glory Pier. Finally, you can make your way back to the cruise terminal on foot, or if you still have time, you can get on the LRT from Glory Pier (C10) to Dream Mall (C5).
Return to Ship
Since you’re only spending a few hours in Kaohsiung, you may not be able to visit other popular tourist spots, such as Liuhe Night Market, the Lotus Pond, and Fo Guang Shan. But the good thing is that there are plenty of direct flights between Manila and Kaohsiung, making it easy to return and spend more days to cover more attractions. We’ll be making a more detailed Kaohsiung Things to Do article soon.
For now, here’s a sample itinerary you can follow for your Kaohsiung port of call.

Freshen Up & Dinner
Do the same drill: rest and shower, enjoy a hearty dinner, and if you still up for it, watch a show or dance the night away!
DAY 7: HIGH SEAS
For Day 7, you can simply choose to slow down and just rest inside your cabin, relax in one of the sun lounges throughout the ship, have a dip in one of the pools again, or do your last-minute onboard shopping.
Specialty Restaurants
If you’re a foodie or you want to try other dining options on board, you can also dine at one of the specialty restaurants. These are not included in the complimentary or inclusive restaurants, so extra charges apply. Here are your choices:
- Casanova. The most exclusive restaurant on board, boasting the best selection of Costa Serena’s Executive Chefs. Location: Deck 11 (Virgo), Aft

Pre-disembarkation Preparation
This is your last night on the ship. This also means that you need to get ready and prepare for disembarkation the next day. Here are the things you need to do:
- Temperature Check. You’ll be asked to go through a quick quarantine temperature check. This is mandatory and usually done early in the day. Take note of the time and location. It will be announced.
- eTravel Arrival Form. Make sure to complete your eTravel arrival form for entry via Eva Macapagal Terminal. It’s best to get this done ahead of time to avoid delays.
- Passport and Luggage Label Delivery. Your passport and color-coded luggage tags will be delivered to your cabin. The colored tags indicate your assigned disembarkation time and assembly area.
- Luggage Collection. Place your luggage outside your cabin before the scheduled collection time. Don’t forget to keep your essentials (travel documents, a change of clothes, meds, wallet, and other valuables) in your carry-on.
- Closing the Costa Card Account. Double-check your Costa Card for any remaining charges. If it’s linked to your credit card, everything will be settled automatically, and then your account will be closed. If you’re paying in cash, you’ll need to clear your balance at the Information Desk on Deck 3.
You’re all set for tomorrow!
DAY 8: END OF CRUISE
All good things must come to an end. But at least, you’re not dreaming. You have lived your dream vacation for seven nights! So, get up, have breakfast, and savor your last hours aboard Costa Serena.
Disembarkation
- Disembark on Time. Be ready to leave the ship at your assigned time. The onboard screens will also show announcements with the schedule and meeting points, so you’ll have no problem.
- Claim Luggage. At the terminal, the baggage claim area will be clearly marked with colored flags, matching the luggage tags distributed the night before.
- Shuttle Transfer. Since private cars and ride-hailing services are not allowed inside the port, you’ll have to get on the shuttle bus instead.
- SM MOA Drop-off. The shuttle bus will drop you off at SM MOA. From there, you can book your ride home or ask a friend or a family member to pick you up.
And that officially wraps up your Costa Serena cruise adventure!
