| Costa Voyages to debut

COSTA Cruises has launched Costa Voyages, a new experience designed to uniquely explore extended itineraries.

Starting from Sep, new cruises ranging from 10 to 14 days will include the wild Canary Islands, the myriad facets of Turkey, the mystery of the Egyptian pyramids, the stunning Azores, the mystical lands of Israel and Morocco, and the cultures of Northern Europe.

Costa Voyages will be available from Sep to Nov 2023, Apr to Jun 2024, and Sep to Nov 2024, aboard six ships: Costa Favolosa, Costa Fortuna, Costa Firenze, Costa Fascinosa, Costa Pacifica, and Costa Diadema.

Guests will have the opportunity to savour a range of special gastronomic experiences, starting with a new, exclusive menu included in the fare by three world-renowned chefs: Bruno Barbieri, Helene Darroze, and Angel Leon.

Fourteen new desserts have also been created in collaboration with master pastry chef Iginio Massari.

Costa Voyages will also provide the opportunity to toast with the captain during a dinner.

Other highlights on board will be the Banquet Night Party, a buffet accompanied by ice sculptures carved by master ice sculptors, and a live DJ set.

Dedicated onboard partnerships include a collaboration with American monthly Rolling Stone, which will offer an exclusive musical show; while Japanese optical company Canon will engage guests in dedicated photography sessions; and the Italian Bridge Federation will provide a full immersion into the world of the card game.

Costa Voyages also offer three elegant formal evenings on board: a gala night at the Grand Bar, where guests can dance with the ship’s officers; a Fashion Night, where guests will be the stars of a fashion show, competing on the red carpet of the Grand Bar, followed by a DJ set; and a Glamour Night, a dance competition in between tango, waltz, rumba and cha-cha-cha.

Guests can also partake in a guided tour of the ship, which will visit the galleys, the bridge, the crew bar, and more.
