Costa presents a great novelty that will make your cruises even more unique and unforgettable: the 'SEA DESTINATIONS'.
Starting in spring 2024, the Italian company's itineraries around the Mediterranean and northern Europe will be enriched with new "destinations" to be discovered on board the ship and experienced from the unique perspective of the sea. The “Sea Destinations” are, in fact, evocative moments, out-of-the-ordinary experiences that recount iconic places included in the ship's route. In this way, in addition to the "classic" destinations on land, such as Barcelona, Naples, Genoa, Marseille, Costa itineraries will also introduce guests to new destinations between sky and sea, to enjoy while sailing.
Some examples of “Sea Destinations” from the Western Mediterranean
