Costa Cruises has introduced a simplified fare structure to improve the booking experience for North American travelers and travel partners. The cruise rates have been renamed to “Cruise Only” and “Cruise Plus Drinks.”
Guests who prefer to purchase beverages as they go can opt for the “Cruise Only” fare, which includes non-specialty dining, entertainment, a range of enriching activities throughout the day and into the evening, taxes and fees. Guests who prefer to enjoy a more carefree vacation that includes a beverage package can select a “Cruise Plus Drinks” rate when booking.
“By putting our rates into these two categories, we’re aiming to make the booking process even easier, presenting them in a way so that our guests have an immediate and clear picture of what is included in their cruise,” said LaDonna Allen, head of sales for Costa Cruises North America. “The new rates are simple so guests just need to decide if they want to pay for drinks as they go or have a dedicated package so they don’t have to think about that cost along the way.”
With the “Cruise Plus Drinks” cruise fares, guests receive all of the perks that come with the “Cruise Only” rates, plus a “My Drinks” package. “My Drinks” includes a range of fine wines, cocktails, beers, spirits, cappuccino, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juices, soft drinks and two half-liter bottles of San Benedetto mineral water per cabin daily.
Guests can choose “Cruise Only” or “Cruise Plus Drinks” with their interior, oceanview or balcony cruise booking.
