Passengers embarking on the Costa Fortuna and Costa neoRiviera for itineraries in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates will enjoy the most modern aircraft available, included in the booking price, as well as port taxes.
The cruise line is thus strengthening its relationships with leading and renowned companies to guarantee the highest quality service for its customers.
Costa Cruises, Europe's number one cruise company and the only Italian-flagged cruise line, and Emirates, the largest airline in the Middle East, with 4 daily direct flights from Spain to Dubai (2 from Madrid and 2 from Barcelona), have closed an agreement to bring Costa customers closer to Dubai before boarding the Costa Fortuna and the Costa neoRiviera for itineraries through the United Arab Emirates and Oman, a destination where Costa was the first cruise line to open the market in 2006.
With this new collaboration, Costa reinforces once again its innovative and pioneering spirit, as well as the excellence in service and attention to detail that have characterized the company during its more than 67 years of history.
Passengers can fly on some of the most modern and luxurious aircraft available today, such as the Airbus A380 or the Boeing 777, departing from Madrid and Barcelona. Flights depart on Fridays for cruises aboard the Costa Fortuna and on Sundays for itineraries on the Costa neoRiviera. These flights, scheduled to depart around 2:00 PM for passenger convenience, will arrive at Dubai International Airport, one of the most modern in the world, where cruise passengers will be transferred to the port of embarkation. This represents one of the most comfortable and comprehensive ways to travel to the United Arab Emirates, always with the best service from Emirates and Costa at a very competitive price, starting from €999 for flight + cruise, including taxes.
Between December 2015 and March 2016, the Costa Fortuna will make an 8-day, 7-night itinerary departing from and arriving in Dubai, where the ship will spend two nights to thoroughly explore this incredible city, as well as two-day stops in Muscat (Oman), one day in Khasab (Oman) and another in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The Costa neoRiviera, flagship of the neoCollection range and a truly special ship thanks to its smaller size and exclusive experience that allows you to explore the best destinations at a more relaxed pace, will offer an 8-day, 7-night itinerary. Passengers will enjoy two nights in Dubai and one night in Abu Dhabi, exploring these fascinating destinations in depth and experiencing unique moments. The itinerary also includes stops in Muscat and Oman. Passengers on this impressive cruise can enjoy the unique experience of afternoon tea atop the Jumeira Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi and relax on the luxurious private island of Al Maya, among many other options.
