Costa Cruises opens bookings for 2025

Costa Cruises is unveiling the long-awaited updates and opening bookings for the 2025 cruises. The itineraries will take you from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe and introduce a new edition of the Around the World cruise with a unique itinerary.

Costa Cruises is presenting its itineraries for the 2025 season, and sales for the 2025 summer cruises and the 2026 World Tour are now underway. For those who wish to book their cruise well in advance, taking advantage of special Costa offers and rates, departures for the period from April to November 2025 are already available through travel agencies or on the Costa Cruises website, www.costacuises.com.

The “book early” option, always appreciated by cruisers, is a way to secure your dream cruise as early as possible, with your preferred cabin location and dining times to suit your needs.

In 2025, three ships will be dedicated to the Western Mediterranean, offering one-week cruises that will take you to Italy, France, and Spain, allowing you to explore art, sea, culture, and local traditions. These include the Costa Smeralda, departing from Genoa on Fridays, and the Costa Toscana, departing from Savona on Sundays.

Costa Pacifica will offer two special two-week itineraries departing from Savona on June 21st and August 30th, providing an opportunity to discover the Mediterranean from Spain to the Greek islands in a single vacation.

Costa Deliziosa will propose two different one-week itineraries in the Eastern Mediterranean, with departures from Marghera/Venice and Bari, or, in the autumn, from Trieste and Bari. The first itinerary is dedicated to the colors of the Adriatic, taking you to Greece with stops in Corfu, the island of Zante (a new port of call in Costa’s programming), Katakolon/Olympia, as well as Dubrovnik/Ragusa and Split in Croatia. The second itinerary will explore the Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos, and Katakolon/Olympia.

During the summer, two ships, Costa Favolosa and Costa Diadema, will sail through Northern Europe, offering itineraries of unique beauty. Costa Favolosa will propose six different itineraries from Hamburg, visiting Greenland, Iceland, the North Cape, England, and Norway, including the return of Scotland. Meanwhile, Costa Diadema will depart from Kiel, heading to the Norwegian fjords.

From June to September, Costa Fortuna will continue to offer a one-week itinerary with exclusive stops in Greece and Turkey, departing every Friday from Athens towards the wonderful Istanbul, available with the “Fly & Cruise” formula.

For lovers of short cruises, there are also mini-cruises in the Western Mediterranean, lasting 3 and 4 days, with Costa Favolosa, Costa Pacifica, Costa Fascinosa, Costa Fortuna, and Costa Diadema. Following the success of the previous edition, the Costa Voyages are confirmed: cruises designed to experience long itineraries uniquely. Costa Fortuna and Costa Fascinosa will head towards the wonders of Lisbon and Morocco, with durations of 10 and 11 days.

Finally, the 2026 edition of the Around the World tour, featuring Costa Deliziosa, will circumnavigate the globe by sailing west. During over four months of navigation, it will visit the Canary Islands, Barbados, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Easter Island, Polynesia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, and Greece. The first departure from Italy will be on November 21, 2025, from Trieste.

Costa Cruises’ offerings for 2025 are truly extensive, catering to the preferences of every cruiser. So, what are you waiting for? Book your next adventure and explore the world of cruising.
