COSTA Cruises has updated its itineraries for the winter 2026/27 season, including boosting deployment in the Canary Islands and Madeira.
The cruise line’s flagship, Costa Smeralda, will operate a brand-new seven-day itinerary between the Canaries and Madeira, significantly increasing the line’s guest capacity in the region.
Costa Pacifica, which was previously planned to sail the Canary Islands and Madeira, will instead be positioned in the Mediterranean following her planned dry dock.
The ship will offer seven-day cruises to Western Mediterranean destinations, as well as longer voyages towards Southern Europe and North Africa.
Meanwhile, the cruise line revealed it will not operate itineraries in the Middle East for the winter season 2026/27, citing the ongoing uncertainty in the region.
As a result, the previously scheduled positioning voyages of Smeralda to and from the Emirates will not take place, with affected guests allowed to choose any other cruise and receive 200 onboard credit per cabin.
The new itineraries for Smeralda and Pacifica will be available for booking by the end of Mar.
