COSTA OPENS SALES FOR WINTER 2024/25 CRUISES
From December 2024 to March 2025, the Italian company will offer amazing vacations in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Emirates.
Genoa, 31 May 2023 – Costa Cruises announces the itineraries for winter 2024/25. For those who want to book their vacations in advance, taking advantage of the benefits provided by Costa's rates, cruises departing from December 2024 to March 2025 are already available in travel agencies or directly on the website www.costacruises.com, offering a wide choice of vacations in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the United Arab Emirates. This in addition to the new edition of the Around the World cruise, which will depart in December 2024 on a very special itinerary.
The most convenient destination from Europe, but also offering the possibility of experiencing a unique vacation even in winter, thanks to its variety of history, culture and nature, is the Mediterranean. The flagship Costa Toscana will set sail on weeklong cruises exploring Italy, France, Spain, with calls at the Balearic Islands and Sicily, visiting four destinations for more than 10 hours to make the most of the experiences ashore. The itinerary includes Savona, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Palermo and Civitavecchia/Rome.
The Caribbean is an ideal destination for a break under the sun, between white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Costa Fortuna and Costa Fascinosa will each offer two different alternating one-week itineraries that can be combined into a single two-week long vacation. The proposed formula is the "flight+cruise" package. Costa Fortuna will sail exclusively between the Lesser Antilles. The first itinerary includes Guadeloupe, Tortola, St. Marteen, Antigua, St. Lucia and Martinique; the second Guadeloupe, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent, Barbados and Martinique. All calls are at least 10 hours long, in order to experience these beautiful islands with ease, snorkeling, discovering local traditions or savoring Caribbean delicacies.
On the other hand, Costa Fascinosa first itinerary is a full immersion in the Dominican Republic, making long calls, between mangrove forests, coffee plantations, and a full day on Catalina, Costa's exclusive island. Calls include La Romana (Dominican Republic), Ocho Rios (Jamaica), Grand Turk, Amber Cove (Dominican Republic), Samana (Dominican Republic) and Catalina Island (Dominican Republic). The ship’s second itinerary explores six of the Caribbean's most beautiful islands, calling at La Romana (Dominican Rep.), St. Lucia, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Antigua, and the British Virgin Islands, to explore beaches, caves, botanical gardens or swim among the stingrays.
Another destination to experience a warm winter is the United Arab Emirates, where Costa Smeralda will be deployed. The week-long cruises will visit Dubai (UAE), with a two-day call, Muscat (Oman), Doha (Qatar), and Abu Dhabi (UAE), taking guests to experience the ancient traditions, nature as well as the futuristic cities of this area.
The 2025 edition of the Around the World Cruise, aboard Costa Deliziosa, will circumnavigate the globe mostly in the southern hemisphere, visiting Tierra del Fuego, Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. For the first time, the departure will be on December 7, 2024, allowing guests to enjoy the holiday season on a cruise. New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro will be an unforgettable experience, with fireworks display from Copacabana Beach.
Costa itineraries for winter 2024/25 are available for booking in Italy and North America; in the coming weeks, sales will also open in all other countries where Costa operates.
