Innovation and adaptability will be key for the tourism industry in 2021. In this vein, Costa Cruises has strengthened its product aimed at Spanish guests on three of its ships to offer an experience even more tailored to the tastes of one of its priority markets: the Spanish cruise passenger.
The company has listened to suggestions from travel agencies and its customers in order to analyze and improve its service offerings for guests from the Iberian Peninsula, a discerning customer profile that particularly values the proximity of aspects such as gastronomy and entertainment during their holidays. Thus, the cruise line is launching its “Spanish Product,” based on an expanded culinary offering, personalized service, and onboard entertainment that will help boost cruise bookings for this season.
The new proposal incorporates even more personalized onboard customer service in Spanish and new meal times adapted to the customs of our country, the addition of a gastronomic offer with a Spanish accent, which will include recipes that reflect our gastronomic tradition, and entertainment by the popular comedians El Sevilla, José Corbacho or Pablo Chiapella.
The company anticipates that this new "Spanish Product" will be available from June onwards aboard three of the most special ships in its fleet. The Costa Pacifica in the Mediterranean, the Costa Magica in the Greek Islands, and the Costa Fortuna in Northern Europe will be responsible for implementing some of the best Spanish customs and traditions, combining them with international offerings and the distinctive Italian touch that sets Costa Cruises apart.
Furthermore, with the aim of offering maximum safety and the latest health and safety protocols to passengers, crew, and local communities, Costa Cruises will implement the Costa Safety Protocol on board these cruises. This protocol includes comprehensive measures to address the situation created by Covid-19, covering all aspects of the onboard experience, both on the ship and ashore. These measures have already been successfully implemented in Italy since September 6th and have received very positive feedback from guests.
Among the wide variety of measures included in this protocol, some stand out, such as free antigen testing for all guests and crew. Anyone testing positive will not be allowed to board. Other measures include temperature checks upon disembarkation and re-embarkation, and protected shore excursions, always in small groups and without interaction with the local population. This bubble system aims to protect all passengers and destinations at all times. The protocol is constantly updated in accordance with the evolving situation and advances in medical knowledge.
With all this, Spanish guests will be able to enjoy a wide range of vacation options on board, with the implementation of these new protocols that guarantee greater safety for guests, crew and destinations, and also experience the best of Spanish culture and gastronomy on these three ships.
This is the perfect time to take advantage of the opportunity and book one of their cabins, as the Italian company is offering an upgrade promotion until March 31st that allows you to book a balcony cabin for the price of an outside cabin, with free cancellation. This promotional offer is available for 2021 itineraries.
