Costa Cruises has announced the continuation of its gradual restart for 2022.
From 5 March, the new Costa Toscana will set sail for her first cruise.
Next summer, the company’s entire fleet will resume operations along with all four of the new ships delivered in recent months – Costa Toscana, Costa Smeralda, Costa Firenze and Costa Venezia.
Costa’s programme includes a total of more than 1,800 cruises from spring 2022 to winter 2022-23, and179 destinations around the world, with cruises lasting from 3 to 127 days.
“We are seeing growth in demand for holidays, and I am sure that this trend will increase further in the coming weeks,” said Roberto Alberti, SVP & Chief Commercial Officer of Costa Cruises. “We think our offer is the best ever, thanks to elements that combine unique experiences, both onboard and ashore.
“Our rich itinerary suits every need and includes some great new features, such as cruises to Turkey. Our cruise experience has been profoundly enriched and will allow guests to discover destinations in an authentic way, also thanks to extended stops in some ports.
“Furthermore, our guests will be able to enjoy their vacations on a fleet with latest generation ships, which combine sustainable innovation with entertainment, hospitality and well-being”.
After Costa Toscana, Costa’s restart program includes Costa Favolosa on April 28, with “mini cruises” in the Mediterranean, Costa Venezia on May 1 from Istanbul, with a new and unique one-week itinerary in Turkey and Greece, and Costa Smeralda on May 7, offering a one-week itinerary in the western Mediterranean.

After the winter season in South America, Costa Diadema will return to the Mediterranean, offering a cruise to Lisbon on May 5. Costa Fascinosa will be leaving on May 1 for a cruise to the Azores.
Costa Deliziosa will resume her Mediterranean cruises from April 15, while Costa Firenze, having completed her season in Dubai, will be positioned in Genoa on April 7.
In summer 2022, the sister ships Costa Smeralda and Costa Toscana, powered by liquefied natural gas, together with the Costa Firenze, will offer week-long cruises in the western Mediterranean, while Costa Venezia will continue with her new itinerary in Turkey and Greece.
