Between December 3, 2020, and February 21, 2021, Costa Cruises' flagship Costa Smeralda has scheduled 7-day long itineraries exclusively dedicated to Italy (passengers and call ports). The sailings can be divided into two short voyages (3- and 4-days) depart from homeport Civitavecchia-Rome.
The 4-day cruises will call at ports in Central and Southern Italy, with visits to Civitavecchia (Sundays), Naples (Mondays), Messina (Tuesdays), and Cagliari (Wednesdays).
The 3-day itineraries visit Civitavecchia (Thursdays), La Spezia (Fridays) and Savona (Saturdays). Costa Cruises said passengers can book the week-long voyages with departures from all ports included in the itinerary.
Costa Safety Protocol, which is designed to guarantee the best cruise experience with maximum safety is to be enforced during the upcoming short cruises onboard and ashore. The main safety protocols feature swab tests for all passengers and crew, temperature checks each time travellers disembark and return to the cruise ship, visits to destinations with protected trips organized by the line, social distancing onboard and in the terminals due to the reduction of the number of guests, enhancement of sanitation and medical services, new ways to use onboard services, and use of protective masks.
