Thread: Costa Egypt & Tunisia itin changes

Costa Cruises has announced that all of its cruise itineraries calling at Egypt and Tunisia have been modified, canceling all port calls in these two countries and offering alternative ports of call, as follows:

• For the scheduled Red Sea cruises on the Costa Allegra and Costa Marina, the itinerary will now concentrate on calls at Jordan and Israel, with turnaround operations taking place at Aqaba, Jordan. To accommodate guests who have already booked these cruises, Costa Cruises will offer alternative itineraries and dates of departures.

• On Mediterranean cruises that include a one-day call at Alexandria, that call has been replaced by a one day-call at Greece or Israel.

• On Mediterranean seven-day cruises including a one-day call at Tunis, Tunisia, that call will be replaced by a one-day call at Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Malta, or Cagliari, Italy.

The company confirms that all of its cruises are operating normally and running on schedule, the only changes to the itineraries being those due to force majeure mentioned above.

Costa Cruises will resume its original scheduled programs and reinstate ports of call in Egypt and Tunisia when the relevant authorities in both countries declare the restoration of stability and safety.

Costa Cruises considers the safety of its guests and crew members a top priority and it is constantly in contact with the local and international authorities to guarantee the safety of its operations and to carefully monitor the situations in Egypt and Tunisia.
