Costa Cruises has received for the seventeenth consecutive year the award for the shipping company with the “Best Mediterranean Itineraries”, one of the most important recognitions of the 18th edition of the Porthole Cruise Magazine's Readers' Choice Awards.
Porthole Cruise Magazine is one of the leading cruise magazines in the U.S. Thanks to votes from its readers and online fans, the Porthole Cruise Magazine's Readers' Choice Awards recognize the best cruise lines each year in 54 different categories.
Mario Zanetti, Senior Vice President of Revenue Management for Costa Europe and Costa Asia, stated: “This award is further recognition of the enormous success of our Mediterranean cruises. It is a particularly important accolade for us, as we consider the Mediterranean Sea our home, a strategic area where we have been offering unique experiences for over 68 years. In fact, for the 2017 summer season, we launched two new itineraries: one exploring the Greek Islands and another through the Balearic Islands and Sardinia, both ideal for beach lovers, sea lovers, and those seeking fun.”.
The company has launched two new seven-day itineraries for next summer 2017: aboard the Costa neoClassica to discover the Greek Islands and the Costa neoRiviera to enjoy the beaches of Sardinia and the Balearic Islands.
Thus, from May 13 to September 23, 2017, the Costa neoClassica will depart every Saturday from Bari to visit Corfu, Crete (Heraklion), Santorini, with a stay until midnight, and Mykonos, a spectacular destination where the ship will spend the night, allowing travelers to leisurely enjoy the beaches and get to know the local nightlife in depth.
And aboard the Costa neoRiviera, departing from Tarragona every Sunday from June 2nd to September 22nd, 2017, you'll discover some of the most popular beaches in the Western Mediterranean. This cruise will stop at a different location each day: Savona, Porto Torres, the stunning Balearic Islands, with stops in Menorca, Ibiza – where the ship will remain until the early hours – and Palma de Mallorca; before returning to Tarragona, where another extended stop will take place.
