Costa Serena’s Manila home port sets sail
The Costa Serena cruise ship has established Manila as its home port, marking a significant development for Philippine cruise tourism.
This initiative, spearheaded by Filipino entrepreneur Jake Acasio Mendoza, aims to bring Filipinos to other Asian countries and back, rather than just stopping in Manila for excursions.
The Costa Serena, which can carry 3,500 passengers, has completed its fourth voyage from Manila, with its latest trip being a seven-day cruise to Japan, including visa-free entry to Naha and Ishigaki.
The vessel provides passengers with full-board dining, entertainment, and European-style amenities.
