Costa Japan Cruise

Good evening, cruise friends! I’m planning my Japan cruise with Costa.

Is it more worthwhile to book excursions before departure? With MSC, yes, because you save 15%, but what about with Costa?

For those who’ve already done this cruise, do you have any tips or recommendations, please? We’re staying 1.5 days before and 3 days after in Hong Kong. Thanks in advance! Chantal Ports of call: Hong Kong - Keelung (Taiwan) - Japan (Naha - Kagoshima - Tokyo - Kobe - Nagasaki) - Busan (South Korea) - Hong Kong

Hi Chantal,

In 2019, I took a cruise that included several of the stops you mentioned. In the travel journal I wrote at the time, you’ll find details about those stops.

On the page below, you’ll find a breakdown of the visits during a 5-day stay in Hong Kong.

Hi Catherine, Thanks for your reply. Your trip reports are so detailed. It’s such a pleasure to read them! I’m not familiar with this cruise line, but what a beautiful itinerary.

This will be super helpful, especially for Hong Kong. Have a great day. Chantal

Thanks Chantal, I’m glad you liked it. Below you’ll find another visit to Hong Kong, this time with photos. https://voyageforum.com/forum/retour-croisiere-en-chine-japon-coree-sud-taiwan-philippines-hong-kong-d9614484-7/
