Thread: Costa to operate round-the-world cruise in 2011

Costa Cruises, which took delivery of its second new Panamax-ship Costa Deliziosa within a year from Fincantieri this Weekend, also announced that the new ship will operate round-the-world cruise in 2011. "Costa Cruises’ brand new 2011 brochure – available soon at leading travel agencies – features the return of the historic round-the-world cruises. This 100-night trip of a lifetime can be broken down into three segments (Savona-Los Angeles; Los Angeles-Singapore; Singapore-Savona) providing an authentic travel experience and the opportunity to follow in the wake of the world voyages of yesteryear while enjoying world-class amenities," Costa said in a statement.

This is intersting. Its been a long time since a main stream cruise line has offered a World Cruise.

Maybe some of the other cruise lines will follow - I hope so.
