Work has begun creating the neoRomantica

The ship will be completely renovated and emerge as the Costa neoRomantica.

The restyling works include two new half-deck extensions, 111 new cabins, plus 120 cabins and suites with private balconies. The ship’s guest capacity will increase from 1,697 to 1,800 with the number of cabins rising from 678 to 789 (and her new gross tonnage will be around 56,000). 

From February 20, the Costa neoRomantica will offer guests brand new destinations and itineraries – some close to home and some more exotic.

The renewed ship will set sail from Savona on an 11-day cruise to Spain, Morocco, the Canary Islands and Madeira. This itinerary is scheduled to continue until March 24. From April 4 to May 2, and then again in late summer on September 5, the Costa neoRomantica will offer 15-day cruises to the magical Atlantic capitals.

Throughout summer, the Costa neoRomantica will be operating in Northern Europe, offering 15-day cruises that for the first time will bring together the best destinations of the Fjords and Baltic Capitals and two cruises to the Spietzbergen Islands.
