The Sanremo Festival and Costa Cruises join forces once again for a unique experience for music lovers. Recognized as the original inspiration for Eurovision and the competition that selects Italy's entry for the European contest, Sanremo is the centerpiece of Costa Cruises' 2025 Music Cruise, which promises to be the most anticipated event of the year for music-loving travelers.
From February 8 to 16, aboard the Costa Toscana, this cruise will not only offer a journey through the most iconic destinations of the Mediterranean, but also the opportunity to experience the magic of Sanremo. The festival, which since 1951 has been a platform for great Italian artists, also inspired the creation of Eurovision in 1956. This connection will be made tangible with a special live performance on board, broadcast on Saturday, February 15.
This year, the Music Cruise kicks off with an explosive 'Deejay Time' from Radio Deejay, featuring Albertino, Fargetta, Molella, and Prezioso. During the stop in Sanremo, guests will experience the magic of the festival and enjoy the bay illuminated by a light show synchronized with live music. The grand finale arrives on February 14th, when Gigi D'Agostino headlines an exclusive Valentine's Day party, bringing her legendary dance sounds on board.
Each day of the cruise will be themed around a musical genre: from indie and punk to pop and electronic. Stops include cities like Barcelona and Marseille, where the musical experiences are complemented by cultural and artistic explorations. Furthermore, a collaboration with the Municipality of Sanremo will allow guests to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display in the bay, uniting land and sea in an unforgettable celebration.
Also noteworthy are Sea Destinations' innovative experiences, such as the 'Sea of Stars' in the Balearic Sea or the 'Cetacean Sanctuary' off the Italian coast. Thus, at each stop, the cultural richness of the destinations blends with unique experiences, creating a narrative that celebrates both the music and the diversity of the Mediterranean.
The cruise offers guests the chance to immerse themselves in the spirit of Sanremo, with excursions through the picturesque landscapes of the Riviera and the festival's atmosphere. This event, where the song that will represent Italy at Eurovision is chosen each year, is much more than a competition: it's a celebration of Italian music that connects generations and borders.
Costa Cruises' 2025 Musical Cruise is now available for booking. With limited spaces, this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day in an unforgettable way and experience music like never before.
