What are the main ingredients for a perfect summer vacation? According to more than 50% of Spaniards, being able to enjoy cuisine is key; while for more than 40%, the most important thing is that it's all-inclusive, and that it allows them to visit historical places, getting closer to the culture of new destinations with the freedom to relax whenever they want.
The beach and the sea are the first things that come to mind when we think of the ideal summer vacation: the sun, the sound of the waves, no schedules… A dream that's possible aboard a cruise ship. So much so, that more than 30% of Spaniards say they want to try the experience and see firsthand the benefits of having everything at their disposal, whenever and however they want, while discovering new and wonderful corners of the world.
Traveling the world on a cruise ship is a dream trip for many. According to a study commissioned by Costa Cruises and conducted by Human Highway, an Italian market research consultancy, 3.1 million Spaniards dream of taking a cruise in the coming months. Of these, more than 40% are from Catalonia and the Valencian Community. The reason is clear: whether traveling with family, children, as a couple, or solo, a cruise offers attractions that are not found in other vacation options.
Undoubtedly, there is no more economical way to enjoy so many places around the world in such a short time. The experience designed by Costa Cruises invites each of its guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of Italy while discovering new destinations, offering a new way to travel that fulfills all the requirements of the perfect vacation.
Inspired by and with the expertise of three of the world's best chefs – Bruno Barbieri, Hélène Darroze, and Ángel León – Costa has enhanced its culinary offerings, featuring, among many other things, original local recipes from the destinations visited on its itineraries. Furthermore, it has redesigned its shore excursions, making them longer to discover the hidden gems of the destinations it visits. All of this is done with a strong commitment to even more sustainable development.
With all this, travelers can make their own itineraries by sailing through the seas of Northern Europe, embarking on the famous Around the World cruise, rediscovering Roman history in the western and eastern Mediterranean, or traveling to the city of a thousand and one nights thanks to Costa's itineraries through Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.
