On March 31, 1948, the Costa Crociere began activities to carry out the first passenger cruise aboard the Anna C, leaving from Genoa towards Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. Since then, the ships of the Coast have spread the excellence and the Italian hospitality around the world, besides being present uninterruptedly in the South American seasons.

In 2018 Costa completes 70 years, but already prepares celebrations for its guests and travel agents partners. A number of initiatives are being developed, on board and ashore, and will be presented in the coming months.

This Tuesday, August 15, the company launches the first special anniversary action based on the “Happiness to the Square” experience of a Costa cruise.

The guest who booked a cruise until September 30 of this year, with departures scheduled between December 20, 2017 and December 31, 2018 for the South American season (on board the ships Costa Favolosa and Costa Fascinosa), including Travel between Brazil and Italy, or the Caribbean itineraries from Fort Lauderdale (USA), you get a special Costa gift: a discount of $ 500 per cabin.

The Brazilian tourist who buys an international cruise from the Coast with boarding between January 1 and December 31, 2018 receives a discount of 500 euros per cabin.

The vouchers can be used in numerous premium experiences aboard the Costa fleet, such as the samsara spa. The special action is valid for cruises made on board the vessels Costa Diadema, Costa Fascinosa, Costa Favolosa, Costa Deliziosa, Costa Magica, Costa Luminosa, Costa Mediterranea, Costa Negriviera, Costa Pacifica and Costa Victoria. The cruise “Around the World” and the scripts aboard the ship Costa neoRomantica are not part of the campaign.

“In its 70-year history, Costa Cruises has demonstrated its ability to innovate in the industry and set trends. A pioneer in the world of cruises, Costa has introduced new services and destinations, catering to the market’s needs and the wishes of its guests to That they can explore the most breathtaking places with maximum comfort, so there is no better way to start our anniversary celebration by offering a gift to people who believe in the Coast and the value of our product. Costa, the only cruise company to sail with an Italian flag, “said Dario Rustico, Sales and Marketing Director of Costa Cruises for South America.” We will have plenty of opportunities and moments to celebrate together.

There are several actions that demonstrate Costa’s ability to innovate and anticipate trends over the years. These included the launch of the “fly & cruise” programs in 1968 and the pioneering spirit of introducing the first ship with balconies in Europe in the year 2000 and the commencement of cruise operations in the Chinese market and travel by the United Arab Emirates and the Indian Ocean in the years 2006 and 2007.

Costa’s track record is also marked by certification in the Guinness World Record by simultaneously baptizing two vessels – Costa Pacifica and Costa Luminosa – in 2009 and for commissioning in 2015 the construction of two sustainable and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) mega vessels.
