Costa Voyager joins the Costa Cruises fleet and heads for the Red Sea

Costa Cruises this week welcomes Costa Voyager to its fleet ... and the start of a new adventure in the Red Sea.

Costa Voyager, formerly part of the Iberocruceros fleet sailing as Grand Voyager, is a smaller ship diversion for Costa, featuring only 416 cabins in total for 927 guests, including 16 panoramic suites and 12 suites with private balconies.

Costa Voyager’s size makes her perfect for cruising the Red Sea region

More specifically, the technical characteristics of the Costa Voyager make her especially suitable for cruises to the Red Sea, a relatively new destination for Costa Cruises and one that will be offered throughout 2012.

Relaxation and fun will be ther order of the day in its three restaurants, four bars, a theatre, wellness centre and gym, treatment rooms, sauna and Turkish bath, swimming pool, disco, shopping centre and children’s club (Squok club).
The arrival of the 24,4009-ton Costa Voyager enhances the Italian company’s versatile fleet of ships, with a range of dimensions and differing characteristics offering a series of brand new itineraries.

The ship is currently undergoing renovation work at the San Giorgio shipyard in the Port of Genoa in peoparation for first cruise on Sunday (November 20) - a 15-day journey from Savona travelling to Sharm el-Sheikh in the Red Sea.

Then, from December 5 to the end of 2012, Costa Voyager will be offering week-long cruises in the Red Sea, departing on Mondays from Sharm el-Sheikh and calling at Eilat (Israel), Aqaba (Jordan), Safaga (Egypt) and Sokhna (Egypt).

The Costa Voyager itinerary combines relaxation and culture, from an extraordinarily beautiful sea to cultural and archaeological treasures.

From Eilat, excursions organised by Costa Cruises will take guests to a natural oasis in the Negev desert, the fortress of Masada and the wonderful landscapes of the Dead Sea.

From Aqaba, visit the pink city of Petra, carved into the mountain. From Safaga there are excursions to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, visiting the tombs of the Pharaohs or enjoying the natural beauty of Hurghada and the crystal waters of the island of Mahamya. From Sokhna you can travel to beautiful beaches.
