Cruises depart from April to November 2026 on six ships in Costa’s fleet

Costa Cruises has opened sales for the remainder of its 2026 season featuring a range of itineraries in the Mediterranean and northern Europe.

Cruises depart from April to November 2026 on six ships in Costa’s fleet, all of which are now available to book through travel advisors or on Costa’s website.

 

Greece & Turkey

Due to high demand, Costa Fortuna’s itinerary dedicated exclusively to Greece and Turkey will be available for an extended period, from early May to early October. The ship will depart every Friday from Athens to Istanbul and the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini. In spring and fall, the itinerary will also call at Volos, Greece, a new addition to Costa’s program, Greece’s Meteors, as well as Izmir, Turkey. During the summer, the itinerary will call at Crete and Rhodes.

 

 Costa Fascinosa

Updates to Costa Fascinosa’s itinerary include week-long cruises visiting four islands in Italy, Greece and Malta, including Argostoli, Kefalonia in Greece, known as ‘the island of turtles’; Mykonos; Catania, Sicily; and Valletta, Malta. The itinerary also includes Taranto, Italy to discover Puglia, and Athens.

 

Costa Smeralda & Costa Toscana

The latest generation sister-ships Costa Smeralda and Costa Toscana will offer week-long cruises to the western Mediterranean. The ships will visit some of the most beautiful destinations in Italy, France and Spain. Costa Toscana will depart from Genoa, Italy every Friday, starting March 27, and visit Marseille, France; Barcelona, Spain; Cagliari, Naples; and Civitavecchia/Rome, Italy. Costa Smeralda will set sail from Savona, Italy, initially on Saturdays and then on Sunds from mid-April, for an itinerary that will call at Marseille, France; Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, Spain; and Palermo and Civitavecchia/Rome, Italy. During the summer season, Palma will be replaced by Ibiza, one of the most beautiful and lively islands in the Mediterranean.

 

Costa Favolosa & Costa Diadema

Both ships will sail in northern Europe in 2026. Costa Favolosa’s season in northern Europe will be longer, with departures from mid-May until early October. The ship will offer five different itineraries from Hamburg, Germany, visiting the Norwegian fjords, Iceland, North Cape and Lofoten Islands in Scotland. These sailings include a new itinerary for a total immersion in Norway’s fjords, including the UNESCO-listed Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord. 

Throughout the summer, Costa Diadema will offer one-week cruises to the Norwegian fjords from Kiel, Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark. Highlights include Hellesylt waterfalls, Geiranger fjord and Stavanger with its charming wooden houses.

 

Mini-Cruises

For guests with only a few days to spare, Costa will be offering mini-cruises of three and four days in the western Mediterranean aboard Costa Fascinosa and Costa Diadema during spring and fall 2026. For those with more time, Costa Fortuna, Costa Diadema, Costa Fascinosa and Costa Favolosa will offer ‘Costa Voyages,’ longer itineraries from 9-14 days. These sailings visit Portugal, Morocco, the Canary Islands, Greece and Turkey. Also not to be missed are the Costa Favolosa and Costa Diadema cruises between the Mediterranean and northern Europe.

The 2026 Mediterranean itineraries aboard Costa Deliziosa and Costa Pacifica will be available for booking in the coming weeks, with details coming soon.

Costa’s 2026 cruises from January to April are open for booking to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Asia and Dubai/United Arab Emirates.
