Costa Cruises has extended its Far East program to include Japan with two new 14- and 15-night sailings for next year. The sailings will be aboard Costa Allegra-June 21 for the 15-night voyage and October 12 for the 14-night variety. The June itinerary embarks from Hong Kong and calls on Kellung, Naha Okinawa, Kobe, Tokyo, Nagasaki and Cheju before ending in Tianjin. The subsequent October sailing begins in Shanghai and visits the same ports as the June sailing. "The region is increasingly popular," said Marco Rosa, Costa Cruises' UK managing director. "UK cruisers are very adventurous and always looking for new destinations." Visit [www.costacruises.com] for more information.
