Costa Cruises presents the C|Club 2022 cruise, a unique holiday event with a program of activities designed exclusively for members of the Italian company's loyalty club.
A cruise that is already special from the itinerary, to reward the loyalty of the Club's passengers, departing on November 4 from Barcelona aboard the Costa Diadema: two weeks to the Holy Land, to discover Jerusalem, and Egypt, as well as the most striking destinations of Greece, Malta and France.
The program on board the C|Club 2022 cruise will feature three special guests: Ángel León, Hélène Darroze and Arturo Brachetti.
Hélène Darroze and Ángel León are two internationally renowned chefs who, along with Bruno Barbieri, are responsible for the gastronomic excellence of Costa Crociere. The French chef will meet with C|Club members at two events: the first will focus on her career and culinary philosophy; the second will be a live cooking demonstration, in which the audience will participate.
Equally interesting will be the event with Ángel León, featuring a presentation of his innovative concept of "sea cuisine" and a demonstration in which he will use some of the special and unusual ingredients with which he composes his creations.
Arturo Brachetti is an Italian artist, famous and acclaimed worldwide, considered a living legend of drag. The Guinness Book of World Records recognizes him as the fastest drag performer in the world, capable of changing characters in the blink of an eye. His repertoire includes more than 400 characters. Among the numerous awards he has received throughout his career are the Molière Award (France) and the Laurence Olivier Award (UK). In 2014, the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, appointed him
Commander of the Order of the Italian Republic. During the Costa Diadema cruise, Arturo Brachetti will perform exclusively for Club members, transforming into a gallery of characters from around the world for a truly fantastic voyage.
Also in the gastronomic field, another unmissable event will be the "stars'" dinner, with three menus to choose from - one signed by Hélène Darroze, another by Ángel León and another by Bruno Barbieri - in which for the first time the best "Destination Dishes" will be collected, the dishes of the three chefs who interpret the traditions and flavors of the destinations.
The program also includes musical performances - such as that of the most famous ABBA cover band, "THE SHOW", a tribute to Abba - themed parties and many surprises for members.
To better discover the destinations included in the itinerary (Barcelona, Marseille, Naples, Catania, Heraklion, Haifa, Port Said, Alexandria, Valletta) through unforgettable experiences, guests can choose from a wide range of organized excursions, some created especially for the cruise club. For example, there's the Jerusalem excursion, exploring the most mystical and incomparable sites of this incredible city; the Cairo excursion, to relive Egypt of 5,000 years ago at the Egyptian Museum and the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure; the excursion among the sacred sites of ancient Egypt, from
the pyramids of Giza to the Sphinx; and in Malta, an excursion that includes the Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village.
Bookings for the C|Club 2022 cruise aboard the Costa Diadema have been a resounding success, with the 'no tickets available' sign expected to be up in just a few days, both at travel agencies and through the company's website.
