Wednesday, 18 Sep, 2019 0

Costa Cruises has confirmed a third ship will sail in South America in the winter of 2020/21.

From November 2020 to April 2021 Costa Luminosa will join Costa Fascinosa and Costa Pacifica, whose positioning in South America has already been announced.

"The arrival of Costa Luminosa for the 2020/2021 season reflects Costa Cruises’ desire to strategically invest in the South American market, a market with a great potential for growth. For this reason we want to gradually increase our presence in the region," said Dario Rustico, general manager for Central and South America at Costa Cruises.

On sale from November 2019, the cruises will offer various itineraries to discover Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.

Costa Fascinosa will home port at Santos and will sail toward the North of Brazil, visiting destinations such as Buzios, Salvador, Ilheus, and Ilha Grande.

Costa Pacifica cruises will mainly focus on Argentina, Uruguay, and the southern part of Brazil with calls scheduled at Buenos Aires, Ilhabela, Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Ilha Grande and Montevideo.

Costa Luminosa will also leave from Santos, with seven-night cruises directed to Itajai (Brazil), Buenos Aires, and Montevideo.

The positioning cruise from Venice to Santos will sail on November 8 2020.
