OVERVIEW
The Costa Serena, an Italian-flagged cruise ship known for its “cruise-cation” experiences across Asia, returned to Manila in March 2026 with a series of 7-day, 8-day, and 11-day sailings across Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.
To elevate the onboard experience, Travel People and #ChoosePremium partnered with 4.0 Management to curate and manage a roster of high-impact artists, transforming sea days into immersive, day-to-night entertainment highlights.
Across three sailings, Jopay & Joshua Zamora (Route 2), Saicy Aguila (Route 3), and DJ Carla Cray (Route 4) delivered distinct yet consistently high-energy performances. From curation to execution, 4.0 Management ensured seamless entertainment across varying routes, audiences, and schedules, bringing the show wherever the journey goes.
