Europe 2024: Costa Cruises launches cruises to Turkey and the Greek islands from Athens
Costa presents important novelties in its programming that reach the Mediterranean and northern Europe
For the European summer of 2024, the Italian company launches an innovative route with exclusive stops in Greece and Turkey. From June 7th to September 13th, Costa Fortuna will depart every Friday from Athens to explore Istanbul and the beautiful Greek islands of Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes and Santorini. A second stop in Turkey, in Bodrum, will be available in some departures of the itinerary, replacing Rhodes. In this way, it will be possible to enjoy the best of these magnificent destinations in a single trip in total relaxation, with four or five stopovers of at least ten hours, between cities rich in history, splendid archaeological sites, nature reserves and crystalline sea waters.
During spring and autumn 2024, Costa Fortuna will offer three to five day “mini-breaks” in the western Mediterranean and several different two-week itineraries to Morocco and Lisbon, with two-day calls in Lisbon and Casablanca; to Israel, Egypt and Tunisia, with two-day stops in Haifa to also visit Jerusalem; to Turkey, Greece and Tunisia, with two-day stopovers in Istanbul; and finally between the Greek islands and Ibiza.
Also scheduled for the European summer of 2024, Costa Fascinosa, initially planned for northern Europe, will offer a week-long cruise program to Malta and the Greek islands, with calls at Catania, Taranto, Santorini, Mykonos and Malta, which will be preceded by a two-week cruise to the Canary Islands and a short break in the Mediterranean.
Two ships, Costa Favolosa and Costa Diadema, will operate in northern Europe in the summer of 2024, offering the best of Costa's programs in this region, with cruises to discover incredible landscapes, including spectacular fjords, villages nestled between green mountains and blue sea and illuminated by the unique phenomenon of the midnight sun.
Costa Favolosa will offer three different itineraries, from 13 to 22 days, departing from Hamburg, bound for the North Cape and Lofoten Islands, Iceland, Greenland, as well as a new 8-day itinerary dedicated to Scotland. Costa Diadema will offer week-long cruises to the Norwegian fjords.
Reservations are now available at travel agencies or directly on the website www.costacruceros.com, with the opening for sale of some programs that will be completed in the coming days.
