Costa to double presence in Asia
SINGAPORE – Costa Cruises will position a second cruise ship – the 53,000-tonne Costa Classica – in Asia from March 2009.
Carrying 1680 guests, Costa Classica will be deployed from March 27 through to November 7, 2009, on 33 cruises lasting between four and 14 days, with departures out of Singapore, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong.
The leading cruise line in Italy and Europe, Costa Cruises was the first international company to schedule regular cruises in China and Asia, deploying the 28,500-tonne Costa Allegra in the region in July 2006.
With a second cruise ship in the Asian market, Costa will offer nearly 55,000 additional berths with a total of more than 60 cruises, bringing its overall capacity in the region to 85,000 berths.
More than 50,000 guests have sailed on the Costa Allegra on a total of approximately 100 cruises since her deployment to Asia.
From November 2008 to November 2009, Costa Allegra will offer 30 cruises, some of which will be 14-day voyages, with departures from Hong Kong and Singapore.
