Costa Cruises' Fun & Beach product was created with the aim of creating a vacation where cruise passengers can enjoy onboard entertainment, beaches and the rest of the services that Costa Cruises offers on its itineraries.
This new program will begin to be available in the spring of 2017 with the trips that the Costa neoClassica and the Costa neoRiviera will make through the Mediterranean Sea.
This is a pioneering concept in the market that seeks to bring cruises closer to the largest possible number of people.
To introduce this concept, Costa Cruises offered big discounts in November 2016 on the booking of the first 1,000 cabins.
Costa Cruises continues this project, offering two Mediterranean itineraries to two of the most sought-after destinations for tourists worldwide. The Costa neoClassica will visit the Greek islands and some of the finest ports in the Eastern Mediterranean. The "Greece in the Heart" itinerary includes a flight from Madrid to Bari, where the cruise begins. Passengers will also discover Corfu, Athens, Mykonos (where the ship will stay overnight), and Santorini, before returning to Bari. This cruise will be available between May 13 and September 23, 2017.
It is Costa's best itinerary to discover the most famous Greek islands on a single cruise with a two-day stop in Mykonos to enjoy the beach and nightlife of this island.
The second, “The Rhythm of the Balearic Islands”, aboard the Costa neoRiviera and departing from Tarragona, will be available from June 2nd to September 22nd, 2017. This ship will visit destinations such as Savona, Porto Torres (in Sardinia), Menorca, Ibiza-Formentera and Palma de Mallorca.
This itinerary allows you to discover all the Balearic Islands on a single cruise, as well as Sardinia and Savona: relax on their beaches, watch the sunset on board and enjoy culinary experiences or entertainment on board Costa Cruises.
The Fun & Beach concept is a great option this summer for exploring some of the most popular and outstanding destinations in the Mediterranean. Costa Cruises passengers will enjoy the opportunity to discover the best beaches and most iconic locations in the Balearic Islands and the Greek Islands.
With this new product, guests will experience a more informal atmosphere on board, where there's no need to adhere to schedules or dress codes. The restaurant offers a relaxed and informal ambiance, allowing guests to dine at any time. For casual dining by the pool, Costa offers "Street Food." A culinary selection featuring traditional Spanish, Greek, and Italian dishes is also available, along with an exclusive menu designed by Chef Bruno Barbieri.
The Fun & Beach program was created to attract younger people to Costa cruises by offering them fun on board, in the nightclub, or through its entertainment program. However, it has proven to be an attractive concept for all ages thanks to the company's commitment to making cruise vacations accessible to everyone.
During the day, this new category allows travelers to enjoy a variety of onboard activities such as Zumba, Aerodance, and Sunset Fitness. In the evening, Costa offers the chance to participate in the popular "Voice of the Seas" competition. To complete this fantastic experience, the Fun and Beach themed party, inspired by the sun and sea, invites you to relax on deck while listening to great music and enjoying Costa Cruises cocktails. The company is also launching a new "Fun & Beach Vibe Party" to fully embrace summer. And at midnight, a dessert buffet will provide the perfect opportunity to recharge and get back to the party.
Passengers who book the "Rhythm of the Balearic Islands" itinerary can purchase a special package for a one- or two-night stay at the 5-star Gold River Hotel within PortAventura, including half-board and transfers between the port, the park, and the train station or airport. The package also includes admission to PortAventura and the option to purchase Fast Track access to the attractions. And don't forget that the new Ferrari Land opens at PortAventura this year, so you can be among the first to experience it.
With Fun and Beach, passengers can purchase everything they need for a beach vacation. The new Costa Cruises collections include sunglasses, flip-flops, bags, colorful caps, and much more, all branded by Costa.
Children under 18 will cruise for free. They will only have to pay for taxes and any flights. They will also receive their own non-alcoholic beverage package if their parents are traveling in Total Comfort.
Fun, gastronomy, entertainment and the best beaches for the whole family will be available to passengers who choose the Fun & Beach course from Costa Cruises.
