Costa Cruises has announced an update on its offer for the upcoming 2025/26 winter season. Due to the currently fluid situation in the Middle East, which remains unpredictable for the foreseeable future, Costa wants to provide its guests with reliable clarity on their vacation plans for the upcoming winter season as early as possible. As a result, Costa has decided not to operate the originally scheduled itineraries in the United Arab Emirates onboard Costa Toscana, as well as those to and from Dubai for the winter season 2025/26. Accordingly, the respective “positioning” cruises to Dubai in fall 2025 and vice versa in spring 2026 will not be operated.
Costa Toscana will continue its scheduled seven-day cruises in the Western Mediterranean until November 13, 2025. Furthermore, the seven-day cruise departing from Savona, Italy, on November 13, 2025, bound for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, is also confirmed. The flagship will stay in the Mediterranean, offering seven-day itineraries and longer cruises to destinations across Southern Europe and North Africa, ideal for the winter season. Full details of the new itineraries of Costa Toscana will be available shortly across all booking channels.
The winter programs of the Costa fleet feature many other options such as cruises in the Canary Islands aboard Costa Fortuna. In a week-long vacation, guests can visit several islands and appreciate their diverse landscapes. Moreover, Costa’s itineraries in the Caribbean are perfect for a warm getaway, between white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Costa Fascinosa and Costa Pacifica, for instance, will sail different week-long itineraries that can be also combined into a single vacation lasting two weeks.
All guests who have booked those cruises that will not be operated will be contacted directly to receive an alternative proposal, among the range of options available in Costa’s fleet for a winter holiday in warmer latitudes.
