Costa Toscana will extend her stay in the Western Mediterranean throughout the upcoming winter season, also with new exclusive long itineraries.

Cruises towards the Emirates during fall/winter 2025/2026 on board Costa Toscana and those to and from Dubai will not be operated.

Costa Cruises announces an update on its offer for the upcoming 2025/2026 Winter season. Due to the currently fluid situation in the Middle East, which remains unpredictable for the foreseeable future, Costa wants to provide its guests with reliable clarity on their vacation plans for the upcoming winter season as early as possible.

On this direction Costa has decided not to operate the originally scheduled itineraries in the United Arab Emirates on board Costa Toscana and those from and to Dubai for the winter season 2025/26. Accordingly, the respective “positioning” cruises to Dubai in fall 2025 and vice versa in spring 2026 will not be operated.

Costa Toscana will continue her scheduled 7-day cruises in the Western Mediterranean until 13 November 2025. The 7-day cruise departing from Savona on 13 November 2025, bound for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is also confirmed. The flagship will stay in the Mediterranean, offering 7-day itineraries and longer cruises to destinations across Southern Europe and North Africa, ideal for the winter season. Full details of the new itineraries of Costa Toscana will be available shortly across all booking channels.

The winter programs of the Costa fleet feature many other options such as cruises in the Canary Islands aboard Costa Fortuna, easily reachable with the “fly&cruise” formula. In a week-long vacation, guests can visit several islands and appreciate their diverse landscapes. Moreover, Costa’s cruises in the Caribbean are perfect for a warm getaway, between white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Costa Fascinosa and Costa Pacifica, for example, will sail different week-long itineraries that can be also combined into a single vacation lasting two weeks. Also in this case the proposed formula is the “fly&cruise” package.

All guests who have booked those cruises that will not be operated will be contacted directly to receive an alternative proposal, among the wide range of options available in Costa’s fleet for a winter holiday in warmer latitudes. Costa Cruises is committed to providing solutions that meet guests’ needs, ensuring an unforgettable and serene travel experience.
