The Italian brand Costa Cruises boasts a history of nearly 75 years. It began scheduled passenger service between Genoa, Italy, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1948, and officially launched its cruise travel service in 1957. Today, it is a cruise brand under the Carnival Corporation, with its headquarters located in Genoa, Italy.

Costa Cruises operates a fleet of 9 ships, all filled with unique Italian flair. The ship exteriors and cabin designs feature understated luxury, embellished with artworks and crafts to create "Italy at Sea"! Itineraries focus primarily on the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Dubai, and the UAE, with unique routes to the Canary Islands. Voyages range from short trips of 2-7 days to longer journeys of over 18 days, and even a 140-day world cruise.

Among them, the "Costa Serena" uses Keelung Port as its homeport, offering itineraries to Naha (Okinawa), Miyako Island, and Ishigaki Island, as well as routes combining Kyushu, Japan with Busan/Jeju Island, South Korea, allowing travelers to visit two countries in one trip! Departures in spring are perfect for viewing cherry blossoms in Japan and Korea, while summer is ideal for family cruise vacations.
