Costa Fortuna A new ship and a new itinerary full of ancient magic.

COSTA neoRIVIERA IS HERE: TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE.

Al Maya

A new ship joins the Costa fleet that provides an even more relaxing way to cruise: short distances and long stops so that you can experience every nuance of the destinations you call at. On the new “Emirates in style” itinerary from November to February, Costa neoRiviera will take you on a holiday that is the epitome of slow travelling, to cities with an exotic flavour where forts, mosques and skyscrapers sit side by side and thrilling nature is all around. You will see what night is like in these far-off lands where the warm wind carries with it stories of ancient times and the thousand lights of metropolises that never sleep. But there’s more: you can try the exclusive thrill of an excursion to a private island: Al Maya, a diamond in the sea near Abu Dhabi, to spend the day totally relaxing in a crystal clear sea. A new experience at your own pace, with lots of treats on board too, such as dinner at your preferred time. Oman New itinerary with Costa neoRiviera
